Secret Mommy
by Andy Dixon, aka Secret Mommy, pieces together glitched-out dance tracks often out of unusual field recordings. His album, Very Rec, is a danceable sound collage, focusing completely on making beats out of animal sounds, laughing children, grunting weight-lifters, people playing tennis, and other unusual sample sources while eschewing the emo-ish vocals he sometimes includes in his other work.
