Vziel Projet Listening List 11: Pudding Store - First Pudding Store

 

Artist: Pudding Store
Genre: Techno / House / Hardcore / Drum'n'Bass
Label: Genetic Trance
CAT#: GT-2023-03-20
Year: 2023

Pudding Store is a very new collaborative project between Vziel (as Surrogate Sigma) and the Brazilian industrial hardcore/D'n'B artist, Cement Tea (and yes, I will include collab projects and bands in this listening list). Everything about this album screams old Archive.org dance music, which comes to no surprise as Vziel is old Archive.org club music, and Cement Tea is heavily inspired by that entire vein of music. First Pudding Store though I think really showcases a fresh side of both artists though, with it neither really sounding like either artist. Cement Tea told me that the album was intentionally produced very quickly, but despite its minimalism, you would never know due to have awesome the songs are. The album ranges between dubby minimal house, to thumping minimal techno full of rhythms that feel both organic and inorganic (especially in the track Curau, one of my favorites on the album).

The album is full of harder tunes as well, mostly in hardcore, but some drum'n'bass as well. These harder tracks really showcase Vziel's unusual (but good) way of handling gabber kicks. The tracks are weird and messy, but I love it, and its great for those who love haphazard and rough rave music. Even in these harder tracks, you can hear signature minimal techno sounds, giving them a really unique vibe. On these harder tracks, I especially love the track Rabri, a hard-hitting to the point minimal hardcore tune. Ebiripo is a very cool track too, full of noisy and dark atmospheres from Cement Tea's trademark sound, but combined with a more traditional and clean club rhythm, gives the song such a bizarre vibe that is really good. The closing track Annin Tofu is a really hypnotic minimal techno track with everything in it putting the listener into a trance, but not in a way that you would expect. All around, this is a really interesting project, and I'm excited to see where it goes.

This Week On Tsundere Violence (9/19/2019 - 9/15/2019)

The Tsundere Violence releases for the week of 9/19/2019 - 9/15/2019. Gold listings are my favorite releases of the week.

TV1728 - Idiot And Virgin - Politica Para Tontos
Week opened with a shitcore EP by Idiot And Virgin. The EP consists of various short samples combined with relatively long (for grindcore) blasts of heavily distorted drum noise. It sounds like really distorted snare rushes with some minor cuts done here and there. Nice little noisy EP~

TV1729 - Guu - Art Bizarre
A very nice album of IDM heavily inspired by various break-focused genres. I really enjoy this album, its very reminiscent of early 00s IDM. Also the elements of dungeon synth and future jazz just makes it even cooler. The album has a consistent dark feeling throughout, highly recommended for fans of 00s era IDM. One of my favorites of this week~

TV1730 - DJZapElec - A Gay Dancing To The Extratone
Despite the name this is much more glitchy noise than it is extratone. This is a really nice EP full of short spastic glitchy noise tracks. It sounds a lot like more hectic raw data sounds, maybe it is, or maybe its a mix; I didn't ask so I don't know. This is a very nice EP though nonetheless

TV1731 - Гипертрофированный Антиинтеллектуализм - Чертоги Безвременья
A nice dark ambient track from Russia. Гипертрофированный Антиинтеллектуализм is Ha 100's newest project, it focuses on dark ambient and its really nice. Dark atmospheres and cool synths. I'm sure the album covers he uses for this project are a joke but I think they go with the music well and make it more ominous

TV1732 - Distorted Vortex - Giving Zero Fucks
I have no idea why I keep getting dubstep submissions, I really have no idea. But anyways, here's more dubstep~! As you can tell from this releasing on Friday 13th, its a very dark sounding album. The tracks vary in production styles, some sound really angry and some are dark and rhythmic. There's really a lot going on here, I really like this one, its my other favorite of the week~

This Week On Tsundere Violence (9/2/2019 - 9/8/2019)

TV1722 - BxBx - a large chest is fine too
Really nice noise single. The track is dense and has really nice screechy sounds. The track is reminiscent of being on a subway train underground, but much louder and noisier. Really nice track, worth checking out if you like noise~

TV1723 - SLIPTRIP - The Chicken Raping
A really nice single, starts of with house then goes into speedcore. This song feels really nostalgic, reminds a lot of the stuff I was finding when I first got into breakcore and speedcore. The house part is really nice, then the speedcore and gabber part comes in and tears it up real nicely. Love the variety of kicks nad sounds in the speedcore part, really nice stuff~

TV1724 - Lord Cernunnos - These Go To Eleven
These go to eleven like its 9/11. This is the first album of the week, a variety of noise tracks and dark ambient noise. Some of these tracks are extremely dense and sound awesome. The more ambient tracks are also quite good. Really enjoyable release~

TV1725 - Acid Applejack - Fucking jump
Acid Applejack keeping the bizarre dubstep trend going with a track that blends together dubstep and psytrance, with also some EDM trap influences here and there. The mix of these genres is really interesting, sounds like the different bass styles would've been hard to pair together but they did it successfully. Nice track~

TV1726 - j.c.19 - Domo Doom Donnn!!!
This one is one long noise track. Was hard to make a preview for it due to its length and you really need to play the whole thing to get the full effect as it develops slowly throughout. Really nice drifting noise thats quite loud.

TV1727 - На 100 Процентов Отмудоханная Бабуля - Drafts [Demo]
Ha 100 acts like a retard, but his music is extremely good and he's a really talented producer when he wants to be. The album is full of really good drum'n'bass, future bass, dubstep, and some more genres. The drum'n'bass tracks are upbeat and banging with really nice bass and melodies pulling it all together. But I think this album really shines in its dubby tracks that are quite slow but extremely well made. Total chill music. There is also a really nice house track on here as well. This is my favorite of the week~

This Week On Tsundere Violence (8/26/2019 - 9/1/2019)

This video actually went up on Sunday, but might as well share it here too. I post these videos everywhere, but here on Lolita Catacombs I'll give some thoughts and commentary on the releases~~

A golden listing means its my favorite of the week~~

TV1716 - CantLoveCat - Las desventuras de mi gato
CantLoveCat appeared on Tsundere Violence previously with a nice housey track, and now they're showing their experimental side with a really nice noise EP. The tracks are varied and this has some really great noise. Some tracks are more intense and some are more experimental and industrial; there's even a chipnoise track on here~! If you like noise this is definitely worth downloading~~

TV1717 - Distorted Vortex - left to die. (REMASTERED)
I honestly don't know why I've been getting an influx of dubstep submissions lately, but the music is good and people have been enjoying it. This is a really nice EP full of bass house, dubstep, and a nice d'n'b track. The entire EP is really good, but I especially love the bass house tracks on this, those are crazy good.

TV1718 - Ninja McTits - Facebook Live From My Bedroom 1/20/2017 & 12/8/2017
This is a release of mine, been slowly releasing a bunch of stuff from my archives. I honestly thought these were released but then discovered them with raw file names. There used to be videos of these but they're now gone. Maybe I downloaded them at some point, but I honestly don't know. I skinned my finger and thought I broke my amp, good times~~

TV1719 - Shitwiz - Beverage AcidShitwiz lately has been experimenting with live-improv dance music. First was a gabber release (also on Tsundere Violence), and now a really nice acid album. This release is full of funky basslines, some are fun to listen to and some are totally banging. Really nice rhythms in the whole thing throughout~~

TV1720 - Lord Cernunnos - Sunflowers
Really nice glitchy noise single from Lord Cernunnos. Sounds like took a noise recording an did "speedrush glitches" on the whole thing, I think there's equipment that can do this too, I honestly don't know what method they used to make this but it sounds really good. Nice to see Lord Cernunnos experimenting with more spastic noise, really nice stuff. Also I love sunflowers so bonus points for that~~

TV1721 - ★Lolitwinx★ - ADSR -alternative-
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA this album is so good~!!! ★Lolitwinx★ is one of my favorite Tsundere Violence artists, and this album is insanely good. Its full of j-core, progressive trance, progressive house, future bass, dubstep, hardstyle, lolicore, etc. The album is full of bangers and I love the heavy amount of atmosphere in this album. Sounds like lolis raving in clouds of cotton candy, really amazing stuff; this is definitely a must download, my favorite of the week. Also, this is an alternative version of their self-released album, ADSR. The two versions sounds quite different and ADSR has some extra content, so make sure to check that out too (its on their Bandcamp)~!
