Ampeater Music BreakThru Radio Compilation: Liturgy, The Paparazzi, Megafaun, Kashka & more

Digital 7-inch blog Ampeater Music unleashes another 15-track mix featuring highlights from their vast catalog (119 releases to-date!). This mix was crafted for BreakThru Radio's 'Anatomy of a Blogger' program, which 'casted these tunes plus an interview with Ampeater's co-founder Ben Heller. He picked out a great mix, and I'm partial to NYC's so-dark-it's-light-black-metallers Liturgy, The Paparazzi's kitchen-sink pop jam, Toronto's show-stopping synth-popper Kat Burns (KASHKA), and the dynamic open-air folk of Megafaun.
Ampeater joined the FMA earlier this summer with a mix made especially for WFMU, featuring Cerberus Shoal, Little Women, Mount Eerie, Debo Band, Pistolera, Normal Love and more -- check it out here

Willy Weird, now known as Thick Business, is the solo project of frequent Infinite Limbs collaborator Tyler Dussenberry. Take a listen to the bad acid electro-surf jam "French Beach" (off that Infl comp), and the aptly titled, trance-inducing layered minimalism of "Smoothest Runes" (originally posted by 20 Jazz Funk Greats)!
The Infinite Limbs compilation also featured a track from Greg's solo project 5 Limbs, now known as GDFX. Greg's early solo stuff applied a percussionists' approach to loop pedals and sequencers to create hyper-active beat-oriented composition. Take a listen to the epic Altered Ego -- especially the 23rd and 24th minutes...
