"Short and sweet" isn't a phrase often connected with techno, but Dakota Bones is changing our perspective on the matter with his track "Samurai." This song is two minutes and 36 seconds of vibalicious, pre-1998 electronic glory.
To emphasize, Bones has put together some visuals in much the same vein, and as simple as the video may be, its looped footage and squiggly madness is just intriguing enough to watch over and over.
Now, as of late I've been playing a lot of Nintendo. A friend of mine clued me into that nifty emulator and I've been diving back into the 8-bit past as if to preserve some lost form of procrastination. It's no wonder then that "Samurai" is appealing to my senses. It's not 8-bit itself, but after an hour of Bad Dudes, "Samurai" is the perfect segue and ideally what Nintendo probably had in mind if it weren't for digital music limitations. What do you think?
