Get Wicked by Headphones Girl
In Headphones Girl's first official release under her new moniker, after a fairly long hiatus from releasing music. Since 2023, she has been producing a lot more for her own DJ sets than anything else, and so this set of tracks is made up of the tracks that ended up getting played again and again, and have consistently performed well on the dancefloor.
It's got all the elements she's been known for since day 1; breakbeats, booming low end, classic rave samples, slippery percussive sound design, and of course, wonky, mutated acid bass sounds, but with a decidedly more focused, dancefloor-ready feel and arrangement.
"Get Wicked" is a breakbeat hardcore slammer with an organ riff that is as catchy as it is warped, eventually climaxing with a euphoric acid line that seems to come from nowhere. The sub bass and low toms carry the groove as the almost dissonant organ and acid slide around on top.
"Gimmeamfbreak" is a wet, textured, percussive, lysergic break, the most true to Headphones Girl's unique style out of the three tracks. A warped clave carries the rhythm, and nearly everything is dripping with echo and delay, which she plays like it's own instrument, automating and modulating it constantly throughout the track.
Finishing off the trio is "Make Me Cum (Hear The Angels), the hardest of the three; it's a sparse, slamming breakbeat track with samples scattered and sequenced throughout the track, with some truly warped bass hits and a thundering sub.
