Electric Ladyland - The Clickhop Version 1.0

Mille Plateaux's Electric Ladyland compilation series finally returns. The acclaimed series set an unprecedented platform for electronic musicians to conjure new forms of experimentation into hip-hop and breakbeat, providing global identity for DJ Spooky, Alec Empire, DJ Vadim, Techno Animal and many others. Now, Click-Hop Version 1.0 attempts to invigorate the sensibilities of hip-hop and r'n'b by some of the leading members of hip-hop and electronic music's experimental underground. The cut-copy-paste of the unessential sound fragments that have been identified as the ungenre of clicks & cuts, take on a new element of maximizing their potentials. The break beat becomes the platform for new perspectives and interpetations.

Whether it be the twisted sonic assault of NYC's High Priest of the Anti-Pop Consortium, DJ Spooky and his unique conceptualizations, Vladislav Delay and the ghostly vocals of Antye from Laub refabricating r'n'b, Spectre of the illustrious Wordsound label shape-shifting the crackle of a skipping record with free flowing beats and ambience to the digital electronic genius of alva.noto (aka Carsten Nicolai) precise usage of sine tones, Fullclip's soulful click-stepper and Safety Scissors timba-beated opus. Overall, Electric Ladyland aims to infect and persuade a growing movement with one of Mille Plateaux's most accessible releases. Ever.
