Boston VHS-affected beatsmith Com Truise has always impressed us with his brand of 80s-pixelated synth-tech. And we’ve always wondered what he listens to when he’s not making beats. Now we know. On his Check Yo Ponytail mix, Com Truise pulls out some of the most obscure, strangest and catchiest 80s goth/synch/new-wave we’ve never heard. Yes, a lot of it sounds like great theme music for crappy 80s TV dramas. Sure, some of it sounds like the daring soundtrack of an 80s cop movie. Eighties hip-hop is even represented.Yes, we recommend you download it now…
LA Resident? Com Truise is playing the Check Yo Ponytail club night at the Echoplex on Tuesday, February 7th (which is, like, today… so get on it quick).
