Their party-startin’ jams and predilection for rowdiness is legendary in circles where tight pants and guzzling Sparks is de rigueur. Since debuting in 2007, Ninjasonik has been careening towards indie greatness with a punchy brand of hilarious, hyped-up music that has left scores of pumped-up fans – and a few grouchy proprietors – in its wake. The crew of rapper Telli “Bathroom Sexxx” Gramz, DJ Teenwolf, and Reverend McFly, has rocked venues from reckless loft parties to the Whitney Museum. Their sly ode to skinny jeans pride, “Tight Pants,” was a viral hit and mixtapes like Ninjasonik Mix #1, #2 and #3, and Darth Bano have been snapped up by their increasingly rabid fanbase. They’ve collaborated with fellow troublemaking Brooklynites Matt & Kim and Japanther, and carved a space in NYC nightlife with their now-defunct Wednesday night residency at the Lower East Side bar Happy Ending.
People taking the initiative is always welcome in a time where being bland leads to being cool. So, when someone puts out a product on a culture that’s in a creative limbo, we get to see its ups, downs, and all-arounds. With The Electro Wars, director and creatvor Stephen Vasquez wanted to capture the essence that is electro culture–from the skimpy skirts to the tightest jeans and the most distorted sounds humanly possible to manipulate. With an upcoming screening during the 2010 Winter Music Conference in Miami, Stephen took time to elaborate on his film and his origins of being a electro “warrior.”
This poppin’ fresh mixtape from Juiceboxxx featuring Teengirl Fantasy, Spank Rock, Ninjasonik and a track produced by Javelin has arrived. Laser effects, air horns, Nintendo sounds, fuzzy guitars, and a sense of humor makes this a sure contender to beat those LA rain showers and blizzard conditions across the nation today. Thank this man. Tracks after the jump.
