Schlachthofbronx f. Big Space & Spoek Mathambo, “Holdin That Dick” MP3
- story Sam Hockley-Smith
How awesome is it that in 2009 it’s totally viable to email an editor explaining your contribution to a song as “bass and airhorn.” Just like when the Mighty Mighty Bosstones had that guy on stage that danced around and never touched an instrument. Granted, Schlachthofbronx is understating his contribution, which also includes that sound from Duck Hunt when you kill a duck and it torpedoes out of the sky, and hyperactive percussion that acts as the perfect foil for frequent collaborators Big Space and Spoek Mathambo.

Schlachthofbronx, Belly Full of Pills Mix
For the Bavarian bass party in Schlachthofbronx’s release schedule, these German pranksters compiled a mix of wobbly house excerpts from their forthcoming Belly Full of Pills. The proper EP features Slush Puppy Kids aka South African bros Spoek Mathambo and Big Space, while this preview showcases their overdriven house synths on reggae/reggaeton beat patterns and gets fairly nasty on the vocals to frame the confluence of flashing lights with flailing booty. Also, it’s possible they are inventing new genres: At about 9:15, it gets real Addams Family-y with the organ tweets… should we call it haunted house? Ha!

Freeload: Schlachthofbronx, “Good To Go”
- story THE FADER
According to some cursory googling, a “schlacthof” is a slaughterhouse. But a “schlact” is a battle and a “hof” is a yard. So we’ve either got Bronx Slaughterhouse or Bronx School Yard Battle. Schlachthofbronx don’t seem particularly interested in definition, as this track runs through genres, starting with some minimal Rhythm and Sound-ish vocal dub before dropping the drums completely for brass and then bringing in the big percussion a la “Trompeta”. But it’s all Greek to us. Zing?
