EMPD018: OPIUO - MONKEY CRUNK - THE REMIXES
OPIUO's Monkey Crunk originally came out as a part of Empathy's
2009 compilation. It went on to become one of our biggest sellers and took the glitch hop world by storm, topping dj playlists across the globe.
Since then Opiuo has gone from strength to strength: He's toured the Americas, packed out clubs across Australasia, produced a top selling debut album, and released a score of successful singles which have topped breakbeat download charts across the world.
His rise has been rewarded with a nomination for best new electronic artist at this year's Australian Independent Music Awards. We've decided there's no better way to honour his meteoric rise than to reinvent Monkey Crunk, and to do this we've brought in a few friends...
EMPD018: Monkey Crunk... The Remixes comes as a 2 part ep featuring some of electronic music's brightest new talent. The ep will feature Drum n Bass, Glitch Hop & Dubstep .. and come mid October we're sure there will be something there to tickle your taste buds.
As a quick teaser, we've thrown up the first of 8 tracks on the split ep onto our soundcloud. Head over and take a sneak peek at Russia's finest...
