Comment:
THAGKIA aka Toupe Mapeto cannot be considered a classical
representative of the so-called Japanese noise movement because those
harsh peaky sounds are just a mere element in the artist`s sound. It
may be more clearly said Toupe Mapeto is just (a bit) influenced by
it. Of course, it is intense and mind-provoking yet it is more based
on more clear-cut yet powerful rhythms full of bass frequencies,
cut-up rhythmic patterns and occult noises. Yeah, the description may
be a main theme though it is surrounded by a thousands of dodges,
electronic effects, collisions and “erroneous” sounds.

Work Collection 1 as one part of the digital hardcore and
breakcore movement is certainly a propulsive power within the
so-called acceleration philosophy, having the anti-capitalist
intention. As you can hear from this set of 14 tracks many of them
involve magnified poppy inclinations (mostly towards IDM shuffling)
yet being surrounded by nihilistic sonic trash, slightly
out-of-context samples, destructive impulses and broken orbit below
them. All the “beautiful” is contradicted by some “ugly”
simultaneously. For instance,
00253 is even highly psychedelic
due to the main catchy repetition. At
00260 you it can be heard broken and then pushed together tectonic rhythmic debris being embellished by the atmospheric upper layer. These fabulous 61 minutes are
released on MiMi Records. Let's wait for a sequel to it.
