VHS Head

Post by Yellow Records »

Preview track, "Sundown" taken from Midnight Section:

"Brilliant mash-up of Skam IDM-aesthetic with clipped, tape-mangling samples from the most informed pre-cert video collection. Alongside the likes of Mater Suspiria Vision and MordantMusic, VHS Head's individual approach to the 'hauntological' music scene has him chopping up electronic segues from classic Margeretti mercenary flicks for the 80's; sleazy, grindhouse horror and themes from various other types of exploitative celluloid. Chopped, shredded and processed, these elements are ground into 7 irresistibly funky brain-dances and mind-frying eletro-glitch. Welcome to the Videodrome!"

Other releases include Trademark Ribbons of Gold:

I searched about 8 Pages back and didn't find any thread about VHS Head...I've been obsesed with this music lately (as well as Com Truise, Lazerhawk, Mitch Murder...)

I just thought I'd share this, since I've discovered plenty of amazing artists on this forum alone, and maybe someone hasn't heard of VHS Head and will love it!

Yeah, there's actually a couple of threads:

It was even some speculation at first regarding BoC having something to do with his music as you can see in the last thread, although it was quickly dismissed.

On a personal note, I like the concept but for whatever reason I don't seem to enjoy more than 3 minutes of his music.

i got his last (midnight section) because of a thread here, and i'm really enjoying it. i understand the "max 3 minutes"-idea: the music is pretty dense, in a good way :)

I have to be in a really fucked up mood to listen to them. It's a little too much sensory overload otherwise.
