Influences: Cardopusher

Cardopusher has done a great job with his Influences piece – rather than give us a list of records that everyone knows, the Hyperdub/ Boys Noize/ Tigerbeat 6 producer has dug deep and come up with some serious basement bangers. This means we've been hit up with a list covering the intricate breakbeat mayhem of Venetian Snares, Altern-8's nutty rave explosions, and – unsurprisngly considering Cardopusher's love of a dirty 303 – some prime acid bubblers from the mind of Luke Vibert. He's also, we think, the first producer to have given us a Reggaeton banger in an influences piece. Good work sir.
You'll be able to hear the sum total of all these influences when Cardopusher plays at the next I Love Acid – taking place at Bloc's venue in Hackney Wick on Feb 5th. As ever Posthuman are on the bill, alongside Perseus Traxx, B12,and Placid. Tickets and such available over here.
The best jungle track for me. No one does amen breaks manipulations than these two guys. My obsession for hyper edited drums came just after listening to this.
