"Ras_G and Zeroh were one of the last additions to the puzzle. I first met _G in the MySpace era,  looking for interesting folks to interview for my blog. I was spending a few weeks in LA before heading back to school in San Diego for the fall. I messaged _G and asked for an interview. He succinctly accepted, asking only that I bring trees. I met him at Poo-Bah Records in Pasadena and drove him back home to South Central before our interview and an intensive crash course in backwoods. 

I heard of Zeroh during the time of his G7 University project. I was unexcited by new MC’s. After spending the preceding years listening to rap cats like Blu, Danny Brown and Jay Electronica, I was increasingly underwhelmed by most new cats I was hearing. However, from the first time I pressed play on “Peace and Light,” Zeroh held my attention and commanded my respect. Some cats spend a career trying to master their voice and delivery in a way that is intrinsic to this young Jedi. 

Towards the end of production on this project a song I’d planned to include fell through. I was stressing. I took a trip to LA hoping to find a solution. I paid another visit to _G at Poo-Bah’s and serendipitously he began telling me how he was finally warming up to working with MCs and was particularly excited by Zeroh, calling him a new-age Divine Styler. He passed me a very rough mp3 of a track the two had done. Zeroh’s vocals were deep in the mix but felt perfectly at home. A short conversation later and problem solved."

Pariah has recently returned with Here From Where We Are, his first solo material in a while. The debut album on Houndstooth finds the producer develop beatless, synth heavy soundtracks into long, thoughtful pieces that are utterly absorbing. It’s a new musical identity for someone closely associated with visceral techno thanks to his work as one half of live duo Karenn with Blawan, but as a DJ he still pumps the dance floor. 

This mix is testament to that: it’s ninety minutes of diverse electronic music that dips into afro drumming, sleek minimalism and off kilter UK bass as well as some cheeky garage. As it wraps up, drums make way for subtle and supple synth rhythms that leave you utterly horizontal, a mile away from the sweaty state that proceeds it. Like Pariah himself, it’s tied to no one sound or scene and is wholly refreshing as a result.
