Putty Knife

Putty Knife is a Miami band of sonic weirdos embracing the methods of lo-fi treachery and improvisation, from an angle of hardcore and noise. As a DJ entity Putty Knife sees its bandleader extend years of prior experience with set-format DJ sessions into a freeform approach.

Leveraging absurd juxtaposition and distilling endless digging, they produce sets alternately dense and spacious whereby the listener is absorbed into the headspace only after the miasma lifts. The distinct approach to Putty Knife DJ sets emphasizes a mix of a heady sound hypothesis with blatant mix-improvisation in line with notions of cultural rejection and cross-pollination.

Their incoming series “Telepathic Insurgency Network” is founded upon a topsy-turvy ontology, but don’t spit your ear out. The entity joins the MCR family to skip-sample outside the algorithm and bust a hole in the muzak-ification of daily life. Neural rabbit holes recoil in the short circuit between punk, electronic, noise, and extraterrestrial radio-bursts ad nauseum. Put down your tinfoil hats and daquiris and throw away the balance sheet to catch the drippy mind-meld.
