Return to the Cloud: Clams Casino, Trill and the new D.A.I.S.Y. age
A few years ago I was all about what later got called ‘Cloud Rap’ – Main Attracktionz, Babe Rainbow, Odd Future – I saw it as the hip hop successor to witch house and an extension of IDM. I tuned out, partly because the lyrical content wasn’t there, and listening now to the more recent…

RC 256: I Have No Name For This (Fix It In The Edit)
[image: John, Hackney 2013] The same rappers say they’re trooping the frontlines, and casually use the word ‘Faggot’ as a punchline. That’s not a man, that’s not a tough guy. That is a sucker and a fraud to the culture! Hip Hop is folk music grown from the struggle and half these fools could put…

Melody of the fun fair

Lazy music for a sunny day*
Checking through my old emails I found this excellent song sent to me by The Other Planets – a few months late but I think the woozy vibe fits the summer* even better. They are a New Orleans self proclaimed psychedelic ‘weirdo-rock’ outfit, with a Flaming Lips influence which doesn’t hurt, but with the added…
