Biography

The mysterious Dr Strangeloop met Brainfeeder label boss Flying Lotus back in their days at the Academy Of Arts in San Francisco, where they bonded over an appreciation of avant-garde film and obscure electronic music. Having taken to VJing as an outlet for his love of abstract visuals, Strangeloop’s work has accompanied live sets by the various members of the Brainfeeder roster such as Flying Lotus himself, Samiyam, The Gaslamp Killer and other beat makers like Kode 9, Joker and Dorian Concept. Now with this eighteen-minute splurge of sound, Strangeloop showcases his music production skills, and true to the art of VJing it’s a versatile, freeform stream of different narrative subsections and episodes. Rather than trying to compete in the heaviness stakes with his labelmates, there’s a fluctuating, filmic quality to Strangeloop’s music: scratchy old piano recordings instill a sense of minor key melodrama in the piece while noisy electronic tones and thumb piano twangs snake around the mix forming clusters of melody, but the most surprising constituent in this soupy barrage would be the drums. Beats dissolve into the production with a thrashy finesse, contributing to a mood that’s comparable with the free-thinking hip hop variants of Four Tet or Dosh. Ace.

    Не знаю, владеет ли он сам русским языком, но меня его русскоязычные сэмплы ужасно повеселили :D

    @warrensid (and others). I actually sent him a message on myspace asking about his old discography, there used to be up on his website but he's taken that down. He did say that he 'might' bring back Datafunk EP ha. 2010 is amazing, worth so much more than the AU$21 i paid for it

    I haven't listened to him much, but I knew that I had to pre-order his 2010 film. All of his videos that I've seen are unbelievably amazing.

    Lost mammals truly is just utter brilliance, despite occupying what likely is a small niche deserves more recognition.
