Kizunami, “Kanye West Finally Touches The Sky”

 

Guys you might not have known this (I’ve been piecing it together over the past year or so) but sample culture and the glitch aesthetic are colliding with the Firesign Theatre over on Soundcloud every day. Skits, abominations, and weird future comedy abounds. It’s aural Youtube poop. The sorta subculture I could really write somethin’ about.

Hitchhiker, “11 (remix)”

 

Somehow Hitchhiker brought some alchemical touch to his original batshit siren-mimicking “11,” morphing a silly booty-shaker into something way aggro. When I close my eyes and picture the sort of venue where a DJ wouldn’t be afraid to spin this, it looks a lot like Hell. It’s perfect. I love the lowrider model ragdolling all over this sequel and, and, and… I’m sorry, it’s hard to fathom how he made this remix less marketable than the original. But here we are.

imagine a 44 year-old guy in a power suit, neck veins bulging, mustache bristling, rapping along with DMX’s 1998 hit “Y’all Done Made Me Believe In Ghosts (Up In Here)” as he swerves his day-glo Lambo through stop-and-go traffic under the Santa Monica sun. Was the man you imagined white or black? It doesn’t matter, you are a racist
