Clipping - Dead Channel Sky (Neon Pink Vinyl)
Juxtaposing high-tech, corporate command-and-control systems (the "cyber") with the lo-fi, D.I.Y. underground (the "punk"), cyberpunk proper starts in 1982 and ends in 1999, from Blade Runner to The Matrix. Concurrently, hip-hop matured, went through it's Golden Era, then melted into further forms: it went from from Fab 5 Freddy to Public Enemy to Missy Elliott. What if someone explicitly merged hip-hop and cyberpunk - those twin suns of the '80s and '90s - into one set and sound?
On Dead Channel Sky, Clipping texture-map the twin histories of hip-hop and cyberpunk onto an alternate present where Rammellzee and Bambaataa are the superheroes of old; where Cybotron and Mantronix are the reigning legends; where Egyptian Lover and Freestyle are debated endlessly, and Ultramag and Public Enemy are the undeniable forefathers; where the lost movements of 1980s and the 1990s are still happening: rave, trip-hop, hip-house, acid house, drum & bass, big beat-the detritus of a different timeline, the survivors of armed audio warfare.
On Dead Channel Sky, Clipping's co-conspirators include everyone from the guitarist Nels Cline, to their labelmates Cartel Madras, rapper/actor Tia Nomore, and wordsmith Aesop Rock. All of the above serves to give us a glimpse of an adjacent possible present, where hip-hop and cyberpunk are one culture.

Vinyl pricing can and does fluctuate. We source 90% of our collection from outside Australia, so currency conversions and freights costs vary country to country. Also record labels sometimes increase their wholesale pricing rapidly. We price our vinyl based on the invoices we receive from each individual suppliers.
Colour variant releases may look slightly different to the pack shot images record labels provide retailers. It is also common for some vinyl colour pigment to vary as each vinyl is unique. This does not affect vinyl playback and we don't exchange/refund due to this factory manufacturing process. Our refund policy can be found here.
