L.A.-based DJ/producer Sean G, greatest generally known as one half of Donavan’s Yard (hosts of certainly one of LA’s greatest events who additionally graced the stage at Coachella) simply dropped a brand new undertaking referred to as Dipping Lotus. A mix tape that blends Dipset raps over Flying Lotus‘ beats, all accompanied by trippy visuals supplied by Liam Sweeny for @unnaturaltheatre.
This can be a marriage we didn’t know we would have liked. It appears to be like and seems like one thing you’d have stumbled upon whereas shopping Tumblr earlier than it was acquired by Yahoo!. We haven’t skilled one thing that appears like this since Knxwledge was doing his MEEK mix tape sequence.
“Squalay Sirens,” “Final 2 Minute Report,” “Rambo’s Revenge,” and “Locked Storage” are the standouts, however it’s greatest to simply let the entire undertaking journey, ideally on an enormous display screen with 3D glasses on or, if you happen to acquired it like that, an Apple Imaginative and prescient Professional. A lot of the half-hour journey is superbly chaotic and pleasantly atmospheric. “Rambo’s Revenge,” with Max B and Jim Jones browsing over that Lotus instrumental, is the proper instance. I’m not precisely positive the way it works, however it does.
Again within the day, you may go downtown in any main metropolis and cop a bunch of mix tapes like this. DJs like Child Capri would mix R&B vocals over hip-hop manufacturing to make one thing wholly authentic and new. As a matter of truth, Capri’s mix of Stephanie Mills‘ “One thing within the Method (You Make Me Really feel)” and Eric B & Rakim’s “Impeach the President” again in 1989 is the gold commonplace that impressed a whole technology of artists and DJs.
The god Sean G on bringing the sensation again: “This can be a undertaking I’ve been desirous to work on for over a decade now. Each Dipset and Flying Lotus have such large cult followings, but in addition utterly completely different sounds. It kinda made no sense and all of the sense on this planet on the similar time. It’s just like the lyrics you yell and the beats you vibe to, however life is like that typically.”
Make sure you preserve Sean in your radar, I’m positive he has extra goodies like this in his bag.
