Galway DJ Jimmy Penguin (right) took on the world’s best gamers at Milan Games Week last week, finishing ItabashiZangief (left) – the tournament’s top seeded Street Fighter player – with a barrage of special moves.
Full on Penguin action from 5.30 to 13.30.
Jimmy Penguin – New album Rust
What you may need to know…
01. Galway-based skratchologist and manipulator of sounds Jimmy Penguin unleashes Rust, his fifth (!) long-player this year.
02. He’s been throwing them out on the DL, and moving in a more techno/minimal direction all the while, including collab albums with fellow Galwegian Acidfeen and DJ Chile. Find his discography here, much of it free/donations.
03. Streaming above is Rust, a platter of wonky, alien breaks and beats released a week or two back.
04. When not constantly moving his own game forward, he also runs Alkalinear Recordings, an online label dedicated to left-of-centre electronics. He’s also a co-founder of Galway’s annual Community Skratch Games.
Verdict: Forward-thinking, fearless and p-p-prolific as of recent, JImmy Penguin shows ’em how it’s done.
