Editor's review
Fresh from successful jags into various corners of the industry, Sixtoo and Stigg rejoin for "Maid of Gold" to take their new maturity out for a spin. Over understated drum clips and cool atmospheres, the pair renders instrumental hip-hop via enchanting headphone music.
Biography
Coming off a string of well received productions including work for Sage Francis' Personal Journals, his instrumental classic, Duration, his latest Vertical Form LP, Antagonist Survival Kit as well as a multi-record deal with Ninja Tune, Montreal transplant Sixtoo joins forces with his old production mate, Stigg of the Dump to form the group Villain Accelerate. Their debut, Maid of Gold may be the most accomplished instrumental release in the Mush catalog. A sonic barrage of breakneck drums, dark samples, pulsing bass, and unsettling electronics, it is the work of a hip-hop production team with the engineering chops of the most sonically skilled drum and bass producer. Maid of Gold is destined to be a staple of the Mush catalog.
