Songs floating over grassland

The name's Tundra. Karaoke Tundra.

Karaoke Tundra is a Ukraine-born musician currently living in Bratislava (Slovakia). When you hear KT, if I may be so familiar, you know you're in safe hands. He knows what he's doing. But I don't think anyone else does. He can certainly drop what I believe is known as a "dope" hip-hop beat, he knows his way around electronica, and his music introduced me to the "experimental" genre. Sometimes Karaoke Tundra goes...out there. Really...out..........there. Like I said, he knows what he's doing, even if nobody else does.

He's very talented and there's a lot of sly humour in his work. Most of the tracks are two minutes or less. It's all great stuff. Recommended tracks:

For Reservoir Dogs fans: Mr Pink, one of two free tracks on his Gastarbeiter album from Mufonic.

Getting a little freaky: Damn You from his album Residence on the kikapu netlabel.

Hold my hand now: Audiosmog from Schizopanorama on Surreal Madrid netlabel.

Don't forget his Killing Balls EP, which features a few more tracks from Gastarbeiter.
