VHS¥DEATH is the solo production project of London-based Natalie Wardle (also of industrial/art-punk band Returning Videotapes). ‘Corrupted Geisha’ is her following up to 2021’s ‘La Llorona (Love & All The Hate)’, and sees her incorporate breakbeats and hip-hop vibes alongside spoken-word samples and dark synth-laden bass-heavy soundscapes.

"VHS¥DEATH is London-based Natalie Wardle, and her productions on The Corrupted Geisha EP are a thrilling concoction of speech, doomy atmosphere and jungle rhythms. Opener ‘Space Bankers See You, The End Is Near’ journeys through soul singers, hip hop beats and a mournful acoustic lament under a George Carlin recording. ‘Snakes In The Grass’ is terrifyingly pitch-shifted synth pop. Wardle seems to choose sounds as much for contextual baggage as their sonic properties, making collisions both jarring and revelatory. While it’s not always clear what’s sampled and what Wardle is playing herself, working it out seems an arbitrary distraction. The whole EP is a magnet for apocalyptic vibes and angry defiance. Wardle using breakbeats and loaded plunderphonics to collage a high-definition reflection of our volatile times."
