This is an archive of The Clean Up Hour. Tonight's mix moves us closer to the end of the summer with something a bit different -- a mix of entirely East Asian Hip Hop (and a pop track at the end). Given that I've done a whole show about Shintaro Sakamoto before, as well as my general interests, my affinity for the eastern part of the world is kinda obvious, but tonight's mix is couched in the context of the "post-woke" era, where debates about cultural appropriation, however necessary, went so far that an increasingly globalized age also seems more isolated and tribal than ever before. Something's gone wrong, and while this mix won't fix it, I'd like to think of it as a reminder of the importance of exploring other cultures without losing sight of our universal struggles and wants.

Also doing slowed + reverb music now lol

To those of you looking for the slowed + reverb version of "Benji the Dog" by Mac Miller (RIP), it was copyright claimed after 15,000 plays. If you're desperate for the mp3, dm me here and we can work something out.
