Earth refuses to wait any longer.
Canada must face the consequence of its actions.
Discipline is, after all, essential for a nation patrolled by kilted yaksmen. The nefarious name of the Hague, however, needn't be invoked. Sovereign nations deserve autonomy from their counselors. But while basketball may serve as a decent consolation prize to some, the author remains unsatisfied; which is to say that Mr. Naismith's athletic innovation follows the trajectory of an airball. A simple hoop-based game cannot erase the memories of goal horns past. The hostile take-over of a hamburger kingdom by the principality of coffee is understandable. Business, like hockey strikes, are cold and calculated. Alas, Canada's kitchen crimes are voluminous and varied. From now until eternity, and at every moment in the past, french fries were meant to be consumed with a single condiment - two at most - not bathed in cheese and gravy; a culinary catastrophe capable of being constructed only by off-brand Parisians. Maple syrup has its time and place. Nova Scotia has catered a delightful brunch in its day. But, be that as it may, pork and pork-based products have no business being round.
None of which has dissuaded the beat-maker below.
Much like a gaggle of kids in the hall, Zulox enjoys the feeling of crushing others' heads from a safe distance. A cranial conscience cannot possible be conceived by the independent producer. Instead, what follows is an entity all its own; unique from what listeners have come to expect the great giver-of-headaches to provide. The track is not an original composition. What can be heard is not so much a song as it is a collage. Fast-paced, instrumental and short (clocking in at just past the five minute mark), the most appropriate comparison is a year-old showcase put together by Bebe Poco. Of note, however, is the focus. Rather than highlight the work of an entire crew, Zulox chooses to revisit the recent resurgence of DJ Marino over the past two months in the form of the brincadeira. Most of the mix is made up of afro-house & batida cuts, as the title might suggest, beginning with the unmistakable "Sapo." . None of the softer or more left-field creations rear their head Transitions are handled mostly through fades. The instrumentation is usually typical; although, as the "BailandoO" remix shows, these are tunes that play well with additional percussive elements (monosyllabic and bisyllabic vocal samples, primarily, which double well as melodic elements).
More than enough to whet the appetite, even after all the Canada talk.
