About
Fueled by an inhuman amount of Maker’s Mark and whatever kind of beer they can get their hands on, a bunch of self-proclaimed gear nerds have accumulated more firepower than Donald Trump. Armed with an arsenal of vintage Roland drum machines and synths, all sequenced by a modded first-gen Gameboy, Truckasauras create analog electro loops that skitter over starkly minimal drums; a sound (is it techno? is it hip-hop?) that straddles the chasm between goofiness and sincerity, and does so with aplomb.
Citing influences ranging from Aphex Twin to 2 Live Crew, it’s next to impossible to pigeonhole the group into any one genre.

********DOWNLOAD IT NOW***********
This is another episode where it is just Damion doing it Jah Shaka style, 1 turntable and a microphone. Sorry no echo effects this go round. We are listening to some Afro beat sounds that feature drum machines and synths with licks by King Sunny Ade, Manu Dibango, Tony Allen, and Bugz In The Attic/ Damon Albarn. No real insights into anything other than some solid tunes for a sunny February day.

Head lice and Espresso Truck……

“As predicted, the musical highlight was instrumental group Truckasauras covering Fresh Espresso’s rap anthem “Diamond Pistols.” Truckasauras turned the song space-y, removing its bombastic horn section and transmitting a more sly swagger while using the same melody. With staccato bloops in the verse and sustained notes and arpeggios in the chorus, the song floated, electronic and crying.
“Through Truck all beats are possible,” rapped P Smoov, pointing stage right at Truckasauras. “
