poborsk – alp
January 6th, 2009
following on from the superb ‘poladroid’ full-length from quiroga, cactus island rollout another old acquaintance into the digital arena: poborsk (nutty professor) who has released an ep with cactus island before and extends his catalogue further with this release,
‘alp’ is more glacial, more industrial and mechanical, more robust than anything we’ve heard from him in the past, poborsk weaves intricate sonic detail into the compositions and scatters fragments of sound randomly over the landscape. out right now on cactus island.
quiroga – poladroid
November 23rd, 2008
after some time a new release is upon us, this time in the form of the one-man band from italy; quiroga has previously released an ep on cactus island titled ‘am i high?‘ and for this next release we have captured the full-on, full-length quiroga sound. ‘poladroid’ is always open, a sound of electronic funk firmly wedged in the modern day but with emphasis on nostalgic times and sonic journeys into outer space.
this is top-shelf music, both quirky and crunchy, ‘poladroid’ is a new language of musical colour, a spellbinding mix of robot-funk that is indestructible. the sound of summer in this cold winter. ‘poladroid’ is available for download now!
bichi – erobreren
August 30th, 2008
tobias is back with his first ep for cactus island after the exclusive track “It begins” which we featured on the "brittle behaviour" compilation back in 2007.
“erobreren” features five expertly crafted slices of crispy bichiness, baked to perfection from his own unique recipe. moving melodies underpinned throughout by complex,up-tempo beats and glitches make this A+ music for discerning electronic music fans looking for something fresh and healthy at a reasonable price during the economic decline.
