A Game Of Chess


"A game of chess... is like a swordfight... you must think first, before you move."


I think that picture sums up Proxy pretty well. A unique and thought invoking, yet blunt and somewhat traumatising look at what is now an established yet complex form of art.

Pretty nifty picture too.

Anyway, let's look into the brilliant and haunting mind of Russian producer Proxy, with his more recent work. 'Think First', which samples the 1979 Kung Fu film, 'The Mystery Of Chessboxing'. Brilliant stuff.

Meanwhile, '8000' and 'Indian Film' seem to have switched names. 'Indian Film' sounds like it's from the year 8000, while '8000' sounds like it's pulled from the newest Terminator movie, which was outsourced to India to save money.

'Who Are You? (The Bloody Beetroots Remix)' is, quite frankly, just noise. But damn good noise at that. I like it. Very Much.

Proxy - Think First
Proxy - 8000
Proxy - Indian Film

In Soviet Russia, you make the beats dance.
