MIKE CASIL - RIPE FOR EXPLOITS (CDBABY) |
| |
Mike Casil's "Ripe for Exploits" shows that he is ripe
with talent. He has the ability to craft and construct
textured electronica that avoids sounding
Swiss-cheesed diluted in its production but by the
same token doesn't sound too dense or oppressive.
Casil fills the spaces well but keeps things flowing
and with just the right weight. The textures he builds
in his compositions is uber grooveworthy and mightily
infectious. On top of his general composition skill is
the fact that he is able to flow from one style to
another throughout the course of his CD while not
deteriorating into disjointedness. From edgy and
trippy techno that could burn up a dance floor to
tweaked out methhead nervousness, from funked out
hooked-out grooves to acidy danceableness, from
drum-and-bass to breakbeats, and even a bit of
industrial, Mike Casil is the kind of thing you want
to hear coming out of the "bedroom" DJ scene. There
are a lot of folks out there who don't know how to use
their computer music programs. Mike Casil does. I
mean, I don't know exactly what software, equipment,
etc., he employs, but he knows how to use them. Kudos.
You can find him at CDBaby.com. -- review by Kristofer Upjohn
