Junk Culture is a new project by Deepak Mantena, who was recently signed to Illegal Art. The first Junk Culture EP, ““West Coast,” was released on October 27, 2009. On “West Coast,” Deepak's samples are all run through a handheld recorder that gives his constructions a gritty lo-fi loop-based sound, mixing fractured vocals, pop hooks, and an overall euphoric warmth. Described by press as "sound tapestries" somewhere between "ambient, dance mash-up, and glitchy electronica" (Todd Olmstead), “West Coast” is a manifesto of energetic raw sound that transcends rigid genres.
