Video: IDC - "This Is Not A Riot"
Nov 12, 09
Okay, in fact, the new track from IDC, "This Is Not A Riot" is just that, in every way and shape. It's a dangerous cut-up and smashed bit of culture-jacking, with a steady cinematic feel to it (we're thinking more along the lines of montages of uprisings and war, vengeance and bloodsports) and the samples, er, well, really they're found sounds from the battle lines of today's culture wars (crowds from the G20 summit upheaval, police loudspeakers and megaphones and the newest anti-riot weapon to be introduced onto street warfare, the Long Range Acoustic Device, in all its shrieking glory. Never one to shy away from pointing the lens back into the faces of those looking out, IDC succeeds in his approach on "This Is Not A Riot", instilling an "I ask questions" sort of whose-side-are-you-on? debate. It's quite a point-of-view to be seeing, if you ask us.
