창원에 거주하고 있고 mcthfg 라고 불리워지는,그의 뉴 앨범 시리즈의 두 번째 것은, 한국에서 얼터너티브 음악을 만드는 여자 뮤지션들을 중심으로 한다. 한국에서 떠오르는 언더그라운드 지역인 서울은 특히, 여성 음악가들, 그리고 뭔가 새롭고 재미있는 것들을 세팅하는 디제이들이 많다.
그의 첫 번째 트랙에서, 몽환적이고 저돌적이며 동시에 아름다운 음악을 구사하는 밴드 Tennger 의 3명중 1인인 Itta 와 접촉했다. 그녀의 트랙 “Only”는 그녀가 직접부른 노래와 그녀의 고유 음성 효과음으로 되어 있으며, 원래는 카세트로 발매되었었다. mcthfg 의 리믹스는 그녀만의 독창적인 원래음악을 기념하는 것이다.- 아르페지오(펼침화음) 와 오르간음으로 점진적 크레센도 음악이다.
두번째 트랙은 프로듀스도 하고 노래도하며 또한 시각예술을 만드는 TheSojuQueen이다. 그녀의 오리지널 "The Pond"는 우쿠렐레 리프(반복악절)와 머리에 계속 맴도는 잊혀지지 않는 음성이 특색을 이룬다. 이 리믹스는 깊은 저면에 깔린 심연을 넌지시 풍기는, 단계적으로 천천히 진행되는 음악이다.
마지막으로 세 번째 트랙은, 은은한 장르에서 그루빙 전자음악, 실험적인 이색적인 장르까지 프로듀스하는 진짜 오리지널인 Yetsuby 이다. 그녀의"Dolphin Song"은 리듬과 베이스를 최소화한 은은한 것이다. mcthfg의 버전은 깊은 저음의 베이스와 Yetsuby의 목소리의 에코음을 가지고 엮어냈다.
'Korean Dub'은 새 시리즈인데 여기에 mcthfg는, 그의 두 번째 고향 나라의 언더그라운드 음악 영역에 깊이 파고 들어, 그만의 독보적 방식인 전자음악을 적절히 가미한다.
볼륨 1은 mdbrkn와 Kuang의 프로그램인, Tennger의 리믹스로 주를 이룬다.
For the second installment in his new series, our man in Changwon, the cunningly titled mcthfg, has focused on some of the women creating alternative music in South Korea. There is a growing underground scene in the country, especially in Seoul, with lots of female artists and DJs setting the standard for what's new and interesting.
For the first track, he contacted Itta, one third of the band Tennger, whose music can be dreamy, aggressive, and beautiful, all at the same time. Her track, "Only", is just her voice and effects, and was originally released on cassette. mcthfg’s remix is a celebration of the original – slowly building to a crescendo with arpeggios and organs.
The second track is by TheSojuQueen, who produces and sings, as well as creates visual art. Her original, "The Pond", features a great ukulele riff and haunting vocals. The remix is slow, with phased sounds that hints at depths below.
Finally the third track is by Yetsuby, a true original, who produces everything from ambient to grooving electronica to experimental weirdness. Her "Dolphin Song" is an ambient piece with minimal rhythm and bass. mcthfg’s version weaves deep bass and echoes into a treatment of Yetsuby’s vocal.
'Korean Dub' is a new series in which mcthfg digs deep into his adopted country's underground music scene and rewires his selections with his own unique take on electronica. Volume One featured remixes of Tennger, mdbrkn and Kuang Program.

This collection of top-quality, spacey, futuristic dub tracks has been well chosen. I can't believe this is an album of various artists - it could be a concept album from one artist. The consistency is awesome. Just play through and chill out... Eclectic

How could you not love this album? It's got a pangolin on the cover!
All of IO's 'zoonotic' series are brilliant - I've been listening to them back-to-back for months - but this is probably the doozy. Matt Thomson

Ambient at it's best. Layers, textures and patterns that are not only nice to hear but actually make me feel like I'm traveling in my mind to places of dark, smooth calm. Love all of the tracks on this! studio1127
Dark and shadowy EBM from this Washington, D.C. artist that perfectly balances menace and mystery in its moody tunes. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 27, 2022
This LP tells the story of a witch, a pair of magic gloves, & an enormous shark via wonderfully surreal electronic songs. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 9, 2021

Unusually, I found it easy to pick a fave track for this! Am loving the dub on my sub and brassy funk of Duende Revisited. Track was marred a little (for me) by the dubstep breakdown at 3:20-3:45, it seemed a little incongruous with the rest of the vibe (and I _like_ dubstep), but some may like that part best! :P Keep up the deep dub sounds! More like this please! theUtmost
