SONG OF THE DAY: I-F - Space Invaders Are Smoking Grass (1997)

I-F stands for Interr-Ference, which is, along with The Parallax Corporation, one of several appellations adopted by Dutch producer Ferenc E. van der Sluijs.  I-F blew open the doors of "electroclash" with the release of "Space Invaders Are Smoking Grass", reinventing a sound that combined electro with modern heavy-techno influences.  The style employs throbbing beats and basslines, trashy and often low-quality synth patches and tones, and often vocoder-treated vocals such as those used by I-F for this definitive track.  "Space Invaders Are Smoking Grass" was initially released as a 12" EP, and also appears on I-F's debut full-length, "Fucking Consumer".
