I did not need to consider too long what release should I review for my debut on mighty Glitch.FM. Mochipet’s Godzilla New Year Single with a set of absolutely smashing remixes seemed to be a natural choice. This record is top-notch glitch bass and fans of this music must not miss it. What better place for unleashing this stuff than this website 🙂
Purchase the release at Additech

Talking Pints: Pet Sounds – Mochipet plays MAO
BY Jonathan White
Mochipet, or David Yang to his rocket-scientist dad, uprooted from Taiwan to California as a child. Growing up in the US, Mochipet got into music and was soon mixing it all up, as can be heard on his recent album Master P on Atari, which you can hear at MAO Livehouse on Saturday. It’s RMB 60. We caught up with him for the scoop on dinosaurs and dodgy fans.

CW talked to beat freaker and rising glitch-hop star Mochipet, who plays live Saturday night at MAO Live House. But, before you read the interview, lend an ear to “Master P on Atari,” one of the key tracks off of Mochipet’s latest album:

Godzilla should not be destroyed, he should be studied – By Morgan Short, Aug 10, 09
“You have your fear, which might become reality; and you have Godzilla, which IS reality.”
-Ogata from Godzilla, King of the Monsters (1956)
Did you know in the original planning stages of Godzilla back in the mid 1950s, he was described as a cross between a “gorilla” and a “whale”? And that’s where his name comes from? “Gojira (ゴジラ) is a combination of two Japanese words: gorira (ゴリラ lit. “gorilla”), and kujira (鯨 (くじら) lit. “whale”).”

The New York Times Reviews Alarm Will Sound Playing Mochipet : “SOMETHING odd and fascinating is happening at the borders of classical music and pop right now. Particularly in new-music circles young musicians are searching for repertory in the pop avant-garde. There were inklings of this in the early 1990s, when arrangements of Frank Zappa pieces turned up in programs by the Meridian Arts Ensemble, the American Composers Orchestra and, in Europe, Ensemble Modern and the Ensemble Intercontemporain. But that seemed only modestly remarkable. Zappa, after all, had been composing symphonic works since the late 1960s, and these transcriptions of his rock works shared the spirit of those scores. And transcriptions of Jimi Hendrix songs by the Kronos Quartet, and Nirvana tracks by the Bang on a Can All-Stars, seemed amusing stunts, offered as encores.” [ READ MORE__]

Alan Pierson’s group, exuberant purveyors of new music on the post-minimalist spectrum, has become a favorite act at the downtown music club. Their next visit finds them performing one of their specialties—virtuoso acoustic renderings of electronic music by the likes of Autechre, Mochipet, and Aphex Twin. (158 Bleecker St. www.lprnyc.com.

ARTIST: Mochipet
TITLE: Godzilla New Year Single
LABEL: Daly City Records
CAT-NO: DCR142
FORMAT: Digital Single with Remixes
COVER ART BY: Sean Griffin
Godzilla New Year is the second single off of Mochipet’s new Epic Glitch’d Out Bass Crunk Anthem, Master P on Atari, released earlier this spring. It combines elements of ethnic Chinese instruments mixed with Street ready Bass Heavy Hip-Hop thrown into a Nintendo 8-bit blender ripped on slow-mo. The beasts are low and chunky and the gongs are bassy and sexy. This release also features remixes by some of glitch and bass’ finest: VibeSquad, Ana Sia, An-ten-nae, and Mimosa, as well as a re-treatments by Mexico’s own Nortec Collective (Clorofila) and Six Degrees Record’s own David Starfire. The combination of styles and cultures are unprecedented, but flows along beautifully to make a surprisingly coherent release. Look for a special Godzilla vs. Mochipet video out soon by the visual media hacker team Savage Henry.
