Lost in the Game

2012 release from SoCal Electronic artist Miguel de Pedro AKA Kid606. Lost in the Game is a sea-change, but it's not Sea Change. Instead, it's a revised focus. Everything's been fucked up, and you can create the world's most head-phucking fuck-ups with any number of plug-ins. Anyone can be an anti-DJ sound artist. Here, de Pedro confronts an unlikely new partner: melody. The beats on Game don't disintegrate every second bar anymore. The Kid could spend the rest of his life playing 'I Love the 2000s' to nostalgic audiences, but what the hell kind of creative life is it when you stop evolving at 26? So, this isn't the prophesied slow-down: there's still lots more to fuck up.
