Cactusinthebank

Cactusinthebank, stylised in lowercase, is the musical project of British "musician" Vanessa Cactus. Their music mostly consists of sample-heavy electronic music, often categorised as "plunderphonics", and they have been active under different names, including Toxiglitch (also stylised in lowercase) since 2017.

Musical style
The music in Cactusinthebank projects can be very eclectic, however is mostly sample-based, extending to their own music, which is continuously updated, sampled and implemented in future works. Often, this will take in the form of recognisable sounds used to create a glitched, nonsensical sonic palette, mixed with some original contributions - particularly vocally - as seen in "Beat" Tape, Public Service Announcement and Golfpecks256. Often, the brand of plunderphonics will take a more free-flowing and ambient approach, as seen in Scrap Works, Crap Suite and Skim EP. There are several projects by Cactusinthebank that consist of extended tracks that feature several parts implemented into them, like Debug Menu, Piss Take and Get Real. Cactusinthebank describes their music as "shartcore" or "post-shartcore", due to how much of the music is satirical or humorous in nature, and may contain memes or "shitposts". Some releases under Cactusinthebank have focused less on recognisable samples and more on creating atmospheric electronic music. Cactustan features MIDI-sequenced tracks alongside the usual sample-based content. Back to Planet Cactus features "rave" music, with use of breakbeats and four-on-the-floor percussion, alongside trap beats, often used by Cactusinthebank, and Memphis rap samples. Tubular Dude! is heavily based on dance-pop music from the 1980s, and uses synthesizers to "modernise" and experiment with songs from this era. A signature part of Cactusinthebank's music is the "FBI open up" vocal refrain, spoken by Aaron Walker, that is used as a producer tag. Whilst it is unknown where the tag first appeared, Walker's clip was recorded in 2019 and has been used in nearly all Cactusinthebank releases since. Several other sound effects have become soundbites that recur in their music.
