Had the horsemen in the WediditCollective any interest in pushing the crew narrative, I probably wouldn’t have to link to their website in the first sentence. You might know the principals better from their solo work: Shlohmo, Jonwayne, Zeroh, RL Grime. There’s more and all of them are interested in further blurring the line between beats, raps, R&B and IDM. It’s experimental without the pretentiousness associated with the label. So Jonwayne’s new mix for XLR8R includes Sun Ra, Edan, Ironman, Biggie remixes and eerie Japanese New Age music and no one bats a blunt. The Wayniac doesn’t smoke weed, so maybe that’s why the focus on this all-vinyl mix never drifts.
Shlohmo’s been a pro since he was old enough to skirt league age limitations (David Stern rules). His own rap and R&B remixes have gained the most traction (Soulja Boy, Drake, The Weeknd), but in his latest video (via GVB), it’s Nicolas Jaar who jams things, figuring out the missing link between Warp Records and Quiet Storm. These two could be the American Four Tet and Caribou should they so they have the desire. Of course, that would probably mean they’d be offered a zany reality show on Fuse or Current, so forget I said a thing.
