Product Description

When the dog days of summer are nearing a close, Montrealer Sixtoo will be dropping his latest masterpiece, Jackals and Vipers in Envy of Man, onto society. For this new record, Sixtoo has delved further into the solo electronics realm. Surrounded by a stack of machines in his studio space, he set out to make a record compiled from live sets performed in various places at various times to stitch them together as a tape-edit record. Along the way these tracks evolved into entirely new compositions, melted down to their basic elements and refined into what we now know as Jackals and Vipers in Envy of Man. The results are mindblowing. Sixtoo s signature drum machine fury is combined with dark melodic electronics to create film-noir style paranoia pieced together into one suite with many different movements. It sounds as you would expect: aggressive, deep, complex, spatial, and more importantly, tough as nails. Jackals and Vipers in Envy of Man is a reflective look forward for Sixtoo...a beatscape that may require a warm-up and a massage before listening. Truly a headnodding affair of the highest order.

Customer Reviews

Trip Bop
High grade break-beat succeeds with keen, clean production and (mostly) memorable and creatively juxtaposed sampling. Some of the more scientifically-minded IDM fanboys may reject the more accessible hip-hop vibe we find here, but this album is impressively layered enough in analysis, even if slightly underdone on the whole, for that to be a mistake.

Jackals and Vipers in Envy of Man
40 minutes of the sickest beats I have ever heard! I can listen to this album over and over again and not get sick of it. You can break or make love to it, but you can't go wrong with a member of the 1200 hobo's!
