Personally, I go through a lot of mixtapes that find their way onto my inbox and to be fair, almost all of them are good. But are they amazing? Its 2010 and there is enough software out there to make anyone a fair DJ. The truth is that electro mixtapes are not meant to just be a simple collection of songs mashed together. They should be looked at as a prolonged roller coaster ride with enough drops and surprises to keep you going but still give you time to catch a breath.
Movies apply the same concept. How is a person able to actually sit still for 2 hours and watch Inglorious Bastards? Simple: Because Tarantino keeps you on your toes deliberately extending the suspense of a scene to make the climax all that more rewarding. The beauty of a mixtape is in its ups and downs and the ability to keep your attention throughout 30-60 minutes. The correct term for describing what I want in a mixtape is for it to be dynamic. It is a simple formula: I want to be hyped up, I want to enjoy a nice electronic melody, I want relax for a bit and then when i least expect it, I want my ears to bleed after an insane electronic build up that bangs my ears senseless. And I want to feel all these emotions in rotation for x amount of times. Is that asking too much? I do not want to simply hear one good song after another.
Black Noise delivers and goes beyond satisfying all my dirty electro needs. For those 60 minutes my ears became their bitch… and I liked it!
