Listed: RXM Reality

RXM Reality, the project of Chicago-based producer and composer Mike Meegan, blends breakcore, techno, grime, noise, and other styles into detailed composites. Meegan has made five albums to date under the RXM banner, four on Hausu Mountain and one on Orange Milk. Dusted’s Andrew Forell looked under the hood to find the pop in Meegan’s latest, No. 1 in the World, observing “[He] buries it deep beneath slabs of distortion, glitched out percussion, processed vocals and meatgrinder effects. Still, it wriggles and writhes through the cracks to lie exhausted on the surface, grains swept into semblances of songs besmeared with dirt.” Here are 11 decidedly un-pop songs close to Meegan’s heart.

Zen Music — Children of Men

This is a clip from Children of Men where Michael Cain plays the Aphex Twin track “Omgyjya switch 7” with screams edited over it. I saw this movie in a theater when I was pretty young and this clip really made a lasting impression on me.

Datach’I — LaByRa

Just like the Zen Music clip, I have been searching for music like this my whole life.

Zomby & Burial — Sweetz

UK Dubstep and its offshoots are huge for me. I love how this track is edited like a bunch of tape loops cut together.

Toiretstatus — #272

Toiret status, koeosaeme, and CVN all just travelled from Japan to play in Chicago and the show was absolutely amazing. I had the pleasure of hanging out with them before the show and we went to Hyde Park together. This whole album is awesome.

Actress — Get Ohn (Fairlight Mix)

I used to listen to this album a lot when I was falling asleep and I would start lucidly hallucinating. The interchanging loops of Actress’s music shifts so subtly that even if you think they are locked in and looping together, they are actually shifting and morphing through the songs.

Björk’s takeover of Tri Angle Records’ Rinse FM show (1/8) (February 18, 2015) - HD

This choice covers a lot of influences for me. Different shows on Rinse FM turned me on to so many amazing songs that I have forgotten and will probably never remember. This particular mix is Bjork and Robin Carolan DJ’ing a bunch of Tri Angle Records songs. Björk is an amazing DJ and will always be ahead of her time. Tri Angle was such an awesome label.

Wiley — Swimming

Hmmm, maybe I just wish I was living in London like 10-15 years ago. I have no idea why most of everything on this list is from the UK. It's kind of embarrassing for some reason.

Sd Laika — Great God Pan

Classic song from an artist gone way too soon. I hope they know how loved they were.

Vantana Row — Capitalism Tastes Like Sugar

I just found out about this band. They are cool!

Deli Girls — STAY

Great band! I feel fortunate to have met Dan and I hope to make more music with Deli Girls soon.

Mages Guild — MIDIMAGICK BETA TEST

Mages Guild is a collective of people currently throwing the best parties with the best musicians in Chicago.

That’s Harakiri, Sd Laika (2014)

The 2010s were an odd decade for electronica, one in which club music tended to rehash trends rather than forge them (SOPHIE aside, of course). In Sd Laika’s That’s Harakiri, however, is one of the 2010s’ most distinct electronic voices. Rattling and industrial, it’s an end-of-days reimagining of club music rife with the spectres of antecedents, blasting with deviant noise and, even in its softer moments, ever unsettling and ominous.

Pick: ‘You Were Wrong’
