Ghost of Son House

Kid Koala kicks out the blues jams on his latest and fifth album “12 Bit Blues”. If you have ever listened to NinjaTune then you’ll know already that Koala is reknowned for his unusual turntablism and smapling/spamling/sampling sonics. So using an SP-1200 sampler from back in the 1980′s Koala pushes out inebriated blues loops with a groove soaked strangeitude that sounds like punch drunk martian tonky honk in zero gravity.

Punch Drunk Martian Tonky Honk in Zero Gravity

Koala’s resurrection swings and grooves and it’s a much more involving and cloudy, ditchwater flavoured mix of sampling than the usual over-cooked DJ fodder and it feels bluesy. Only very, very briefly does his turntablism descend into the more atypical trip hop scratch stylistics – which, if anything must be a concession of sorts to his regular audience, maybe he got sick of “the Wolf ” at 11 revolutions per minute. Koala’s style, however will not be defeated.
