In this episode of BEATS UNRAVELED, Binkbeats covers Aphex Twin's "Windowlicker". See the magic for yourself, and have a look at our BTS video for further past unraveling: bit.ly/1nBJrFr
Binkbeats is an artist from the Netherlands whose covers of current artists such as Baths, Amon Tobin and Flying Lotus have gotten him accolades online. They're not just your ordinary cover - he performs them live in one take, with his ultimate aim being to hunt down the songs' sounds as closely as possible; and he consistently succeeds in putting his own creative spin on them.

Yes, we all love the original, but this still deserves a lot of respect and acclaim. He didn't just emulate all the notes and structure, he matched so many of the timbers and nuances too. Brilliant cover.

okay the people criticizing this dude haven't the slightest iota of how much discipline and effort went into making this possible. I can't even wrap my head around how I would set up all the looping pedals correctly, let alone be able to trigger everything and switch between instruments at the drop of a hat

+Thanatos Who gives a shit about those criticising him? Not to sound like a total doosh but the mans talent on its own calibre totally mutes and discredits any voicing of an opposite opinion. He is an impressive talent to have succeeded in this close approximation of aphex twin's unmatched composition.

+Lsdude420 You shouldn't really flatter them by assuming that I give a shit about them haha. I just find it baffling that they have the gall to criticize him in the first place; probably while sitting, crumb strewn, in a cheap, sweat-inoculated office chair

Excuse me, I am a music critic. I am afraid your opinions are totally muted and discredited because you don't understand anything about the processes involved in critiquing music. Not that I give a shit about you, having the gall to criticize the critics; probably while sitting, crumb strewn, in a cheap, sweat-inoculated office chair. Just in case you're irony impaired, (hey this is KZfaq), I'm asking you not to be such an obnoxious tool.

he leaves out the part where the original changes the feeling to shuffle from straight and then back again and into another shuffle part. which i think is okay, because it would mean do record several loops at first if you don't have a drummer backing you. BUT in the main theme he is out of tune and it's awful. hurts my ears. Still very impressive. and great. Btw, my brain had this tune on repeat today, like: wake up- windowlicker running in my head. going to uni - windowlicker at uni - windowlicker! four hour shift as a cashier - windowlicker all over my brain! all my colleagues were like: "paul, you're in such a good mood today!" Hell yes, I am!

Insane! The fact that somebody, or anybody, would choose to cover Aphex Twin says it all. More so with a deviant (and obscure) track like ‘Windowlicker’, whose unorthodox beats and borderline-perverse rhythms are disturbingly catchy as they are complex - to even fathom, let alone master and reproduce. Any dude that does, and does succeed (like this dude), is an effin’ genius! Much respect on your choice of music, and hats off to you for nailing what I consider to be a flawless cover! 🙌🏼👏🏼🦻🏼🔊

Why can't you criticize this? Also it's not like he created a track out of scratch. I hate how these comments are shutting down criticism even though people have made fair points and just because you appreciate the work put into making this you can't say it couldn't be done better.
