Bay Area fixture DJ Centipede has been spinning dusty hip-hop and futuristic bass music for some time, and now, as Mophono, he puts all his DJ skills into music making in the form of a full-length album. Entitled Cut Form Crunch, RCRD LBL gives you the premiere of the title track, featuring the inimitable imprint of guest Flying Lotus. The skipping zaps, warped oscillations, and quaking drum breaks are signature FlyLo, but there's an ominous, menacing vibe that feels distinctly like someone else, presumably the center of attraction. Cutting down on some of the compressed computer music that's FlyLo's bread and butter, Mophono seems to be moving further to the center of the spectrum that runs from straight sampling to microchip-created hip-hop, bridging the gap by bringing the best of both worlds.
