Scatter Brain or a.k.a DJ Mikey Forest spins his own brand of music in which he admits, "not into crowd pleasing". Thus he is heavily influenced by house music and electronica that is either remixed, mashed up, or heavily sampled from artists as offbeat as Kishi Bashi. He started off the night at the Drunken Unicorn playing a sample of a female singing soul with beats dropping in the background. Note when he started off, nothing was pre-recorded. His music jumps from one genre to another, ranging from psychedelic to rock music all while keeping the beats intact. "It's all but flow, but there these freaking moments, spontaneity", he says with confidence and swagger.
Bottom line: The music is energetic, infectious that will make you shake a leg. The common is continuous house music/electronica laced with heavy samples from diverse artists like Little Dragon to Bjork.
