If you're not hip to the sonically shattered, lo-fi industrial/no wave/drone stylings of Indy/Bloomington noise artist Chicago Bulls Hat (AKA Zachary Eve), well you should go ahead and get hip. Check out any of the 30-plus albums on his MFT page to thoroughly unsettle your mind for a few days.

I can appreciate a lot of things about CBH, but nothing quite as much as when his music defies my expectations. One example is last year's dense and haunting full-length album, Weakened State. Another is his recent stream of fittingly weird hip hop remixes on the Chicago Bulls Hat soundcloud page.

Eve's love for great hip hop is certainly no secret, and it pops up in his music from time to time, but his remix treatments of Gucci Mane, Lil B, Ghostface Killah, KRS-One, Too Short, Inspectah Deck and others (there's even a Grimes remix!) definitely reveal the special place that great beats and rhymes hold in his heart. The characteristic Chicago Bulls Hat dark haze and pitch-shifting is here, but he never renders the songs completely unrecognizable, which turns out to be a good thing in this case.

Stream a couple of our favorites below, then check out CBH's latest album 6-46 via MFT's embeddable player, and be sure to check out more on the Chicago Bulls Hat MFT page.
