The critically acclaimed West Coast-based experimental hip-hop trio, “clipping" consist of producers Jonathan Snipes and William Hutson, alongside multihyphenate MC, Daveed Diggs.

Clipping initially rose to prominence with their debut album MIDCITY and follow up CLPPNG. In 2016 they released their opus, SPLENDOR & MISERY, a science fiction concept album that garnered international critical acclaim, including a Hugo Award nomination for Best Dramatic Presentation. This was only the second time ever a music album was nominated, putting them up against the likes of GAME OF THRONES and BLACK MIRROR. Their follow up, THE DEEP, garnered similar attention including another Hugo Award nomination as well as influencing a Simon & Schuster published novel of the same name. Most recently the band diverted from their sci-fi storytelling and released a horror-based concept album, THERE EXISTED AN ADDITION TO BLOOD. Line of Best Fit’s Jack Bray hailed it as “sonically intriguing” and “another successful experiment for the group and one of the eeriest examples of modern hip-hop to date.” This was followed up by their acclaimed ‘sequel’ album, VISIONS OF BODIES BEING BURNED.

We monitor many frequencies. We listen always. Came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. It played us a mighty dub.” – Neuromancer   The international duo of Fujako returns to Angstrom Records with Soul Buzz, a short but intense six-track salvo of earth shaking, gritty electronic music featuring DC’s Black Saturn.  Uniting over a love of echo, bass and space, Jonathan Uliel Saldanha, from Portugal, and Nicolas Esterle, from Belgium via France, came together to form Fujako with a desire to make music of “unlooped hip hop and telluric dub from the geological strata.” Exiling themselves to a remote mountainous area of central Portu- gal, Fujako re-emerged in 2009 with a debut album that crystallised their intent with a righteous sound and fury. Soul Buzz, recorded between Porto and Brussels, continues their lifelong dedication to sonic alchemy with thundering bass, cavernous spaces and beat up rhythms combining to speak a mighty dub into the liste- ner’s bones
