The final 7" from Dispyz before the project morphed into it's new incarnation as Stagediver. Datarunner is more violent distorted "Amigacore" from this Milwaukee based outfit, which has been around for over a decade - if you've heard any of the other releases from Dispyz then you know what you're going to get: super-distorted chiptune melodies over brutal distorted kick drums and ferocious breaks, frantic samples, and bursts of broken gabber, all created with antiquated computer equipment and low-fi recording techniques. The title Datarunner is some sort of reference to a group of Milwaukee hackers from the 80's called the 414's, Like the other 7" that we just got in stock from Dispyz, this shit is a blast, sort of like a chiptune-infected Nasenbluten, or Xylocaine. This record is a test of patience, though, as the a-side plays inside out and drops into a locked groove at the end, so you have to be able to run your needle from the inside groove to play it all thr way through. As long as your turntable is equipped to do so, you'll get a rush of orchestral drift that blooms into clouds of digital drone that's stretched out over the first minute or so, and then ruptures into blasting, manic breakcore, big distorted beats, distorted and dosed on PCP, that finally slips into a grinding lock groove at the end. The b-side plays normally, delivering a slightly less frenzied dose of 8-bit breakcore, but it also tumbles into it's own grating, noisy locked groove. Pressed on green vinyl, and comes with stickers and button and a download code for a digital copy of the Ep. Killer high-speed 8-bit raver violence!
