Loud And Quiet
The Rates: Clipping shout out their favourite underground techno and Bay Area hyphy
We ask an artist or group to share the three musicians they think have gone under-appreciated, and three new names who they hope will avoid a similar fate
When dealing with as challenging a group as Clipping, it feels appropriate to hold back any big assumptions about where their influences come from. The industrial hip-hop trio have clearly invested enormous time and intellectual energy in their work; to come in as an outsider and ascribe a specific masterplan to what they do seems a little forward, to say the least.
