South Central and Gary Numan - Crawl

Gary Numan has been prepping up his album Dead Son Rising and in so doing has been doing duets and guest appearances with artists throughout the industrial/darkwave/whatever dark, dreary music is called these days. The band South Central (sounds kind of hip-hop) has him on a song called "Crawl."

"Crawl" is intense and a bit Skinny Puppy in its sound, so be forewarned. I really enjoy it, actually, but it's certainly not for the layman.

If you listen to more of South Central, they go for a sound alot like The Prodigy. Here is their title track "Society of the Spectacle:"

Sleigh Bellectro?

If you roll as I do by the White Lines bar standard of electro as: could you imagine a five foot Korean or Boogaloo Shrimp hisself popping to it, Brooklyn's finest chicky Electro unit Sleigh Bells fits. Even if you chuck in headspins and airjacks. And I do.

Dear Sleigh Bells: Occasionally chant Flash or Freeze. Know your roots, girls.
