Riddim Warfare

A dense collage of illbient textures, turntable science, and underground rap. NYC street grit meets academic sound theory in a murky, echo-drenched landscape.

September 21, 1998 · Outpost Recordings

A dense, intellectual fog that balances urban grit with philosophical detachment.

Moments Worth Listening For

The jarring collision of Thurston Moore's abrasive guitar feedback with a steady hip-hop breakbeat.

Kool Keith's surrealist flow dissolving into a wash of dub-inflected reverb and static.

The eight-minute centerpiece Peace in Zaire where the rhythm completely deconstructs into an ambient jazz haze.
