Artist: Surrogate Sigma Genre: Minimal Deep House / Breakbeat Trance Label: Genetic Trance CAT#: GT952 Year: 2018
A small two track EP, with both tracks being a little over two minutes each. The first track is a minimal deep house tune, minimalist drums that gradually build into a nice groove, then pretty sounding cut up rhodes, its a nice track. The second track though is the shining star of the EP, a very 90s sounding breakbeat trance tune, a nice catchy lead combined with some cool borderline jungle breakbeats; the composition is incredibly 90s, and the audio quality makes it sound like it was some old demo on a tape somewhere, its very nice.

Ok, I wanted to commit to actually having Lolita Catacombs back, so already doing a post, and already starting the CDR listening list. I've been interested in doing these for quite sometime, and Okosan's one of my music really inspired me more to actually do this. This is probably a pretty random release to kick off the CDR listening list, but its short, only two tracks, so that's why I chose it. I listened to this back when it came out, and again a few years ago, but its been awhile.
The songs aren't actually marked, but I'm assuming this is like Psychedelic Trance Express Vol.108 (released on Tsundere Violence), where its floppie tracks, then CDR remixes. The release is only two tracks, and floppie kicks it off with a really nice techy garage trance tune. This track sounds a lot like it would be in a menu screen for a futuristic JRPG, and being a huge fan of OSTs, it totally slaps. CDR's remix of the song really plays up on the original's older sounding aspects, and their remix sounds like a love song to old trance records of the late 90s; especially with the tempo, minimal drums, structure, and heavy bassline focus. This isn't your typical CDR track, but really shows what the man is capable of and his wide range of influences.
I refuse to put ratings on music, so no ratings for listening lists, but this is a very nice single.
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)~!
