Description

Dead Channel Sky fuses hip-hop and cyberpunk into an adventurous album filled with instantly catchy beats and deftly rapped tales of dystopia, technology, Afrofuturism and beyond. RIYL: Rammellzee, Cybotron, Mantronix, Egyptian Lover, Ultramagnetic MCs, Public Enemy, rave, trip-hop, acid house, drum & bass, big beat. Features guest work by Aesop Rock, Nels Cline, Cartel Madras, Tia Nomore, Bitpanic. Clipping vocalist Daveed Diggs is a Grammy and Tony award-winner, known for his work in the original cast of Hamilton, Snowpiercer, Black-ish, Blindspotting, The Little Mermaid, and more. He will appear in the upcoming fifth season of the Amazon Prime show The Boys. Clipping’s Jonathan Snipes and William Hutson are prolific experimental musicians. They scored the acclaimed documentary Room 237, and Snipes made the soundtrack to the horror film Starry Eyes. Both worked with Diggs on the Disney Channel Hanukkah song “Puppy for Hanukkah.” Description: Because of their mix of hellified gangster shit and progressive compositions, I once jokingly called Clipping “Deathrow Tull.” Well, it’s not a joke anymore. While Clipping’s last few projects have been record-long concepts like classic prog rock, their cyberpunk-infused new album Dead Channel Sky is mixtape-like, a carefully curated collection in which every track is a love letter to a possible present. It sounds crisp and classic at the same time. When something strikes us as retrospective and futuristic at the same time, it’s a reminder of how slipshod our present moment truly is. Juxtaposing high-tech, corporate command-and-control systems (the “cyber”) with the lo-fi, D.I.Y. underground (the “punk”), cyberpunk proper starts in 1982 and ends in 1999, from Blade Runner to The Matrix. Concurrently, hip-hop matured, went through its Golden Era, then melted into further forms: it went from Fab 5 Freddy to Public Enemy to Missy Elliott. While other genres flirted with it, hip-hop was fickle and fey. Rap and rock birthed mutant offspring maligned by most, and hip-hop’s relations with electronica rarely fared any better. What if someone explicitly merged hip-hop and cyberpunk - those twin suns of the ‘80s and ‘90s - into one set and sound? After all, both movements are the result of hacking the haunted leftovers of a war-torn culture that’s long since moved on. On Dead Channel Sky, Clipping texture-map the twin histories of hip-hop and cyberpunk onto an alternate present where Rammellzee and Bambaataa are the superheroes of old; where Cybotron and Mantronix are the reigning legends; where Egyptian Lover and Freestyle are debated endlessly, and Ultramag and Public Enemy are the undeniable forefathers; where the lost movements of 1980s and the 1990s are still happening: rave, trip-hop, hip-house, acid house, drum & bass, big beat—the detritus of a different timeline, the survivors of armed audio warfare. Clipping are no strangers to sci-fi: two of their records were nominated for Hugo Awards (one of science fiction’s top literary prizes), and a novella spun-off from their music was nominated for a third. On Dead Channel Sky, Clipping’s co-conspirators include everyone from the guitarist Nels Cline, to their labelmates Cartel Madras, rapper/actor Tia Nomore, and wordsmith Aesop Rock. Diggs is known for intricate lyrics and rapid-fire rapping, and the tracks that Snipes and Hutson build in the background are no less complex. All of the above serves to give us a glimpse of an adjacent possible present, where hip-hop and cyberpunk are one culture. Binary stars are often perceived as one object when viewed with the naked eye. Like those twin sun systems, it’ll take some special equipment and some discerning attention to pull the stars apart on this record. As Diggs barks on the fire-starting “Change the Channel”: Everything is very important!
