The Wad Squad

A1 Screwed In, A2 Homegrown Groove
b/w B1 Sexy Bite, B2 Ski Rail
4-song 12"
Curious Electricity CE-02


San Diego hip-hop fusion meets krautrock dreaminess. Featuring local ambient/techno DJ Lotus and his crew, these funky breaks ‘n’ beats also appear on a porn film soundtrack - hence the name The Wad Squad. Artwork by Rich Jacobs. 500 pressed.

What began as a weekly series of funky outtakes (and was truly intended to play wallpaper to the domain of Ron Jeremy and the like) resulted in the unlikeliest of collaborations - THE WAD SQUAD. An amalgam of Krautrock,funky-ass breaks, and jazz fusion. THE WAD SQUAD (Lotus, Nate, Grant, and DJ Stomp) meld their respective stylistic licks into an infectious, booty-shakin' party of downbeat hip-hop grooves.

Chalk up another one for those lazy bastards Lotus and Nate, who've teamed up in the past to map out groovy soundscapes on 1996's Bardo Hotel EP and Firme's Cornucopia series. Toss into the picture DJ Stomp's skratches and hip-hop sensibility, and Grant's sexy guitar, and you have this eclectic 12".

What the professionals say...
URB (on Lotus Chill Out): "69 minutes of pure ambience
beginning with an aircraft lift-off taking you to another dimension... Ambience exists beyond the Orb."

XLR8R (on Bardo Hotel) "Trancey yet groovy, hard yet not
banging, a great example of the tribal-techno-house-trance fusion..."

BPM Culture (on Firme's Cornucopia Series) "Solid and well
produced... A very respectable first outing."
