The artists on Paris label Institubes mulch everything from
funk to new jack to rock to house, producing gnarly distortion disco
and trashed electro. The Paris Terror Club Tour features
21-year-old phenomenon Surkin, TTC rapper Orgasmic, NYC’s Curses! (aka
Drop the Lime), and Para One. Surkin’s debut full-length, Action
Replay, is a monster record, a relentless rush of huge beats,
crushed samples, and low synths. Para One’s Epiphanie is less
frantic but just as kinetic. Expect total dance-floor chaos.
