Subsequent to getting a whiff of any new music from SHAPE-affiliated artist M.E.S.H., some listeners might feel the need to gird their proverbial loins in caution, while I personally usually feel the need to mainline caffeine and hit the freeweights. But just as these choices may vary among individuals, so too does the severity of noises across the handful of Berlin-based producer James Whipple’s albums.

The Newcomer EARTH MOTIVATION
Styles: reconstructed, iconic
Others: James Ferraro, Arca, Lee Gamble
When you begin to read a music review, are you wondering: what is the image of the world this implies? Many of us are locked in a struggle to rediscover the comprehensive worldview. But however we look at it, the world is increasingly like an icon: flat, impermanent, made to be remembered. “Globe logo concept free vector.” Unlicensed and infinitely scalable. To have no required context, like that world we’re beginning to see in a new light.

“Music is probably the only real magic I have encountered in my life. There’s not some trick involved with it. It’s pure and it’s real. It moves, it heals, it communicates and does all these incredible things.”
– Tom Petty

Favorite Rap Mixtapes of September 2017 From Peewee Longway & Kodie Shane to UnoTheActivist & Chief Keef
From Peewee Longway & Kodie Shane to UnoTheActivist & Chief Keef
With a cascade of releases spewing from the likes of DatPiff, LiveMixtapes, Bandcamp, and SoundCloud, it can be difficult to keep up with the overbearing yet increasingly vital mixtape game. In this column, we aim to immerse ourselves in this hyper-prolific world and share our favorite releases each month. The focus will primarily be on rap mixtapes — loosely defined here as free (or sometimes free-to-stream) digital releases — but we’ll keep things loose enough to branch out if/when we feel it necessary.

♫♪ Chocolate Grinder Mix 122 - A FAREWELL TO SUMMER, AN ODE TO FALL
“But I hear sounds in my mind;
Brand new sounds in my mind”
– Lorde
VIII.
When autumn comes, I bloom anew;
The Russian frost does wonders for my health;
Anew I fall in love with life’s routine:
Betimes I’m soothed by dreams, betimes by hunger caught;
The blood flows free and easy in my heart,
Abrim with passion; once again, I’m happy, young,
I’m full of life - such is my organism
(Excuse me for this awful prosaism)
– Alexander Pushkin

Three years ago, Total Freedom released 10,000 Screaming Faggots, perhaps the most provocatively defining moment in a string of totalizing mixes that hog-tied culture in a progressive and cataclysmic roast.
