MIX: Jaws - 4 Corners Pt. II (60mb)

Here's another mix of volatile 90s memphis rap from Robert Girardin aka Jaws and it's in a similarly scuzzy zone as the previous one he made last month. There'a also a new original Jaws jam up on his soundcloud on which you can definitely hear the Excepter connection, not to mention a similar late night sizzurp/Casio fog to labelmates Hype Williams. It's only a rough cut but there's a real mean streets/dystopian pop energy to it, building up into a pretty heady swirl of midnight experimentalism.

MP3: Jaws - 4 Corners Mix (47mb)

Just got this mixtape in our inbox from Los Angeles' Robert Girardin of Jaws who've got a record coming soon on Hundebiss Records (James Ferraro, Hype Williams). He's also collaborated with Excepter but the zone of both this new track "Joined" and this ultra sinister mix of 90s Memphis cassette rap are deep in the syrupy midnight much like Hype W's part-drone part-rap experiments in murky hypnogogia.



Robert re: the mix: "This is a mix of cassette culture, mid-90’s Memphis rap. Two producers were responsible for the bulk of this material: Tommy Wright III & Blackout. Their psychically transcendent brand of production incorporates screw techniques, woozy synthesizers, sound collage, and most prescient: junkies pounding out dark, spare electro funk. Like kingpin Tommy Wright III incites: 'Don’t you wanna take a trip with the 4 Corners hustlers? Don’t you wanna know what 4 Corners look like?' Well, don’t you?"
