Alternating between humour and homage, Droopy Butt Begone! opens with a medley of 80’s techno/hip-hop references (filtered synth swells, BPM doubling, scratch samples and a shout-out dedication of sorts), giving way to delicate glockenspiel underpinned by head-bobbing beats. Aidan Girt (GY!BE, Exhaust) is the merry studio prankster here, and this was the first full-length record under his 1-Speed Bike moniker, which operated for some time in the Montreal region as a mobile activist soundsystem.

Description

Alternating between humour and homage, Droopy Butt Begone! opens with a medley of 80’s techno/hip-hop references (filtered synth swells, BPM doubling, scratch samples and a shout-out dedication of sorts), giving way to delicate glockenspiel underpinned by head-bobbing beats. Aidan Girt (GY!BE, Exhaust) is the merry studio prankster here, and this was the first full-length record under his 1-Speed Bike moniker, which operated for some time in the Montreal region as a mobile activist soundsystem. The album includes a kinetic remix of Fly Pan Am, who were simultaneously at work on Sédatifs En Fréquences Et Sillons at the Hotel2Tango while Aidan was mashing things up in the back room. Dark atmospherics and shimmering melodies bind these tracks throughout, set against various whimsical touches. Jazzercise for the revolution!

Reviews

"This release is chock-a-block full to the brim of what every musically choosy protester needs: strong Canadian experimental rhythms with a flowing drum beat and decidedly cut'n paste/anarchistic mindset." – Offbeat

"It's a cross between toilet humor and socio-political ranting over deconstructed hip-hop beats, rave anthem odes, and haunting soundscapes with thump." – Almostcool

"[A] delightfully shapeshifting album of interlaced rhythms and tones, containing some of the most compelling dark and lo-fi electronic noodling since the Third Eye Foundation's ‘You Guys Kill Me’." – Eye

"As you would imagine, drumming features very strongly on this album. Big beats provide the substance of each track while techno, hip-hop, punk and house genres are all visited in sample form." – Barefacts

"[T]his is a cool exploratory trip into electronica and varied experimentation." – Baby Sue Music
