weyheyhey !! - toomuchnotenough [Breakcore]

weyheyhey!! - toomuchnotenough
Genre: Breakcore
Release Date: April 17th, 2016

Producer weyheyhey's toomuchnotenough shows itself to be an exemplary release for the breakcore genre, establishing itself as a unique piece amidst an often familiar landscape. Where this album excels is in its presentation as a more traditionally structured breakbeat record playing into the sensibilities of chaotic percussion and sampling instead of using the two as the album's hook. The soft synths that ride above the hectic drum patterns give the record a smooth and familiar face reminiscent of early 2000s electronica and the power of the drums keep the energy high throughout. This album also isn't afraid to indulge in some weirder ideas, such as the demented fair-ground music that leads the majority of "Effection Part 2's" run time or the choppy hip hop vocal samples in "Other People's Pleasure". 

A bit of a tough one to describe, due to my lack of experience in describing electronica, but what can't be denied that this record has the energy, fun, and clever composition to make it stand out in a genre where artists typically tend to go overboard in making their music loud, abrasive, and weird. Which also makes this record a plus for people who may find the more abrasive side of the genre to be a turn off, and would rather find a more comfortable and familiar starting point, which is also why this album gets a glowing recommendation.
