clipping. 'Dead Channel Sky'

More mixtape than concept album, 'Dead Channel Sky' finds clipping. transmitting from a shattered present—one built on the buried dreams of hip-hop and cyberpunk. Each track plays like a flickering glimpse into a parallel timeline, where 1980s and 1990s underground movements—rave, acid house, trip-hop, drum & bass—never died, only mutated. The result is a dense, pulsating collage that feels both vintage and visionary, retrofitted for a world that's fallen out of time.

With Daveed Diggs' rapid-fire delivery cutting through sonic wreckage sculpted by William Hutson and Jonathan Snipes, clipping. blend sci-fi textures, gritty beats, and Afrofuturist themes into a chaotic yet coherent whole. Featuring guests like Aesop Rock, Cartel Madras, and Tia Nomore, the album expands its range without losing focus. From the industrial bounce of “Dominator” to the archival haunt of “Code,” 'Dead Channel Sky' explores identity, survival, and glitch-riddled memory. This is not just music—it's a hacked-together broadcast from a lost frequency, where Rammellzee is canon, Egyptian Lover is still debated, and everything, as Diggs warns, is very important.
