A Different Kind of Dope: 90's Baltimore Random Rap Mix Vol. 1

Circular Tip EP (TT017)
(1) Bishop - 06:56

Circular Tip EP - Strung-out rhythm & drone from Kane Ikin. 

Originally featured in Nic Hamilton’s recent video work of the same name, the dense repetitive guitar lines of “Circular Tip” are paired with “Bishop”, an intense long form rhythm excursion built for large PA’s and early hours. 

Following on from his recent Warehouses EP (TT014), Circular Tip presents two sides of Kane Ikin’s vast sound and is available as a ‘pay as you feel’ digital download, exclusively from http://thisthing.us

Listeners familiar with Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith's previous album Euclid (an album that prompted Dazed to call her "…one of the most pioneering musicians in the world.") will no doubt notice her heavier use of vocals on her new album EARS.  On all but one song, her gently ecstatic swells of vocals emerge to soar over a dense jungle of synths and woodwinds.

After initially composing on a Buchla analog synth, she wrote arrangements for a woodwind quintet, added vocals, and further refined the pieces with granular synthesis techniques she developed in her sound design work (she contributed sound design to Panda Bear's "Boys Latin" video, and handled sound design and original compositions for Brasilia co-written by and starring Reggie Watts).   

Kinetic arpeggios of synths pulse, often buoying her graceful vocal mantras, while woodwinds breathe and flutter, emulating the wildlife Smith observed while growing up on the West Coast (she even studied recordings of slowed down bird calls prior to composing these pieces).   Though some of her gestures echo the musical tropes used by early minimalist composers, the world she creates on EARS is uniquely hypnotic and full of life, not unlike Miyzaki's film Nausicaä, which she cites as an inspiration.

Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith - "Existence In The Unfurling"

Home
Fell into a drop of water rolling on the car window as the road took me home. 
Throwing out the poison apple. Heart of stone. The sun is shining in my mind and I am strong. 
Pulled apart by the two forces right and wrong. Wanting back the ones that I loved for so long.
I need you and you need me here in this song. When you're far away in my heart please bring me home.
I know I hurt you, I desert you, treat you wrong. When you're far away in my heart please bring me home.

Here is a recording of my set at Far Away in Los Angeles that happened recently. I was the only DJ that night and I played from doors till close. Unfortunately the recording cut out during the night and we are missing the last 90 minutes. There are still the first 4.5 hours here for you to enjoy though.

Thank you to everyone that was there and involved in making this such a great night. And thanks to the person on twitter that took the photo and let me use it for the artwork.
