Babylon released the chains from our bodies and placed them on our brains! Personally, dance music acts as an audio key that frees my brain from bondage. It’s true that when the music hits you feel no pain! This is why the new CPU-1 tape L.A.U.R.A. 009: Hardwired makes me feel some form of happiness in this crazy-ass world! As I bump tracks like “Insurgency” and “Exodus,” I can’t help but get lost in the basslines that pulsate out of my speakers, pointing me to my future! CPU-1 is a spot-on producer that never over-crowds their songs with sounds. They do an awesome job of allowing the beats to breathe, and they use space as an instrument unto themselves. I honestly see underground dance culture as an extension of underground punk culture. On so many levels, both communities are cut from the same outsider cloth! I want to give a BIG SHOUT OUT to L.A.U.R.A. for pushing our culture forward. Yo CPU-1, I want you to know that you killed it and I will be bumping this tape for years to come!
