Mport Samples "SpongeBob," "Dodgeball," "Finding Nemo" and More in New Dubstep EP
Mport is translating comedy into dubstep gold with his new EP, sampling a wide variety of beloved films and shows ranging from Kill Tony to Spongebob Squarepants to family-favorite Pixar films like Finding Nemo.
"This longer EP is based around sampling some of my favorite scenes and media," Mport explains. "Everything I used has made me belly-laugh to tears at some point, personally, so I wanted to add my production twist on them. Also, it makes for great live visuals."
The voices of beloved cartoon characters Spongebob and Patrick can be heard in "Wumbology" early in the EP, their distinct rapport strategically broken apart and spliced together over a head-bobbing beat. Meanwhile, "Hot Rod (Cool Beans)" samples two scenes from the film Hot Rod, with Mport's personal addition of experimental bass and a horn section. Dodgeball and Beavis & Butthead join the hilarity in "The 5 D's" and "Whoa Fire," respectively.
While other tracks remain heavy with wobbling bass, "Pixar Party" presents itself as an intriguing house track, its beat laid over the familiar squeaking bounce of the age-old Pixar lamp. Listeners can then hear samples of their favorite Pixar films, like Toy Story, Wall-E, Finding Nemo, Monsters Inc. and more.
