Princess Nokia sets up Hurricane Maria disaster relief fund, shares double video
First thing I’d like to mention: true to form, America’s president is continuing the country’s rich legacy of providing terrible disaster relief, not to mention other shit that’s playing no small role in his reluctance to, you know, help American citizens. That said, luckily we have people like Destiny Frasqueri a.k.a.

♫♪ Robedoor - ALREADY IN THE VOID 2017 – Mixtape
Blood-sweat off the brow. A pizza delivery that took more than an hour. What the fuck baseball game is tonight? Ima kidnap the pizza man like everybody else. We’re getting high, playing some Tekken 7, eating the fucking pizza, and maybe holding a seance, where I trade him in for the ultimate tip: life ever lasting; everything has its cost. And then it’s all about cutting up the body in a titled bathroom, the last five trash bags, bricks off the sidewalk, and the canal. All along the canal. Speak the language.

Áine O’Dwyer Gallarais
Styles: mystic cave, curved air, disembodied folk music
Others: Julianna Barwick, Graham Lambkin, Bethan Kellough
Áine O’Dwyer’s last album for MIE was recorded in a church. Given the rare opportunity to make recordings using the pipe organ in St. Mark’s Church in Islington, London, the sound artist visited the instrument over the course of several months, applying the same pensive, drifting method that she had come to employ in her harp music to a much grander set of tools.

Daniel Lopatin (Oneohtrix Point Never) and Ishmael Butler (Shabazz Palaces) team up as 319 for new Adult Swim track
Apparently, if you take all of the letters in Daniel Lopatin’s name, convert them to alpha-numeric digits — and then do likewise with Ishmael Butler’s — and then subtract the one from the other — and then take the square root of that number — and then divide all that by cosine — and THEN multiply the results by 0 — and, finally, add the Mayan civilization’s sacred “number of the cosmos” (420) and subtract out Nostradamus’ mystical “number of the beginner” (101)…you get…319!!!
OMG…
YOU GUYS…

Kedr Livanskiy Ariadna
Styles: raw, sacred
Others: Kelly Lee Owens, Carla dal Forno, Jenny Hval
Thriving in dust and distance, Ariadne’s sincerely austere beats and textures seem out of time, pilfered from the past, weightlessly released from decaying acetate. House is now an anachronism, a mythos to be appended with ‘outsider’ or ‘ambient,’ etc. It’s not an enclosure within walls, but an environment without; not a club, but liberated or discarded into the labyrinthine confusion of brutalist concrete confines — a crumbling city, streets tangled and gleaming in perpetual twilight.

John Wiese Escaped Language
Styles: field recording, musique concrète, noise
Others: Sissy Spacek, Bastard Noise, C. Spencer Yeh, Aaron Dilloway
Escaped Language is John Wiese’s latest record. It’s his 2nd solo full-length for Gilgongo and 422nd release overall. Caveats:
- This number includes collaborations, compilation tracks, singles, 10-inches, 7-inches, and work with his other projects, including Sissy Spacek and Bastard Noise.
- This number is the result of my own calculations. If you want to double-check, please do.

Footwork stalwart DJ Tre announces Hyperdub debut EP, The Underdogg, because people like to dance in the U.K., too
Much like me when I’m trying to put out the pillar candles in the 12th century Gothic-style wall sconces that hang in my apartment, footwork is really blowing up these days — what with all the biggest dance labels in the world dipping their proverbial toes in the figurative juke pool. (And imagine dancing like that in a pool!)

Young Thug & Carnage finally pay homage to their true OG, Martha Stewart, on new collaborative EP Young Martha
Since the genre’s inception, it has been incumbent upon new entries to the hip hop canon to pay homage to their predecessors. Which is why I was getting really fucking worried that no one had dropped an EP specifically honoring Martha Stewart by name.
