Shout At the Döner

Shout At the Döner

Considering he's been the crown prince of PDM (prankster dance music) for more than a decade, it's no surprise that Kid606's latest full-length is a little more sinister than his last (2005's ambient-leaning Resilience). Serrated synths and top-heavy basslines face off in the foreground of Miguel Depedro's pressure-cooked mix, and beyond all that bedlam lie lots of liquified loops, from the diva-driven house nods of "You All Break My Heart" to the Nick Cave chorus that cuts across "Dancehall of the Dead" — a delirious 4 a.m. anthem that also includes a swift sample of the Breeders' "Last Splash." And then there's the single that'll make you really worry about Depedro's sanity, "Mr. Wobble's Nightmare." A brilliant piece of black humor, it twists a morality tale about a  drug overdose (4hero's dancefloor-detonating classic "Mr. Kirk's Nightmare") into a B-movie about an underground club kid being eaten alive. Jamie Stewart of Xiu Xiu guests, making a melodramatic bid for future voiceover work. As Depedro says in Döner's liner notes: "If you listen to this album in its entirety it will make you cooler than those who don't."
