Hype Williams/Dean Blunt/Inga Copeland Archive download

In recent years, however, the project has returned with new releases and suggested the moniker can be passed to new artists. On some music forums people talk that Ogritch who helped Dean, with his last USA tour and released mysterious album from Zomby now a part of updated Hype Williams. Yeah, this is always hard to get 'what is real? But lets bring some light Everyone expected for Dean Blunt and Inga Copeland on the stage,.

Bunch of people wandering who it was,. This is hard to build some connection between Dean Blunt and S Ogritch. Because later we see like different people around the world discuss new interesting facts about this mystery.

We found another mentions of this at supforums. Later Ogritch himself said that he will organize next Babyfather usa tour too. What we actually know about Ogritch? Blame boxing — that's why shit sounds the way it does. Their new record Black Is Beautiful, released under their own invented names rather than Hype Williams, feels punch-drunk, with tracks ranging from nearly 10 minutes long to just 37 seconds. Sugary pop melts into frantic tribal flute; new-age chimes sit alongside squalls of improvised drumming.

It's their most melodic and accessible album yet, and Copeland is a brilliant vocalist, shifting between various personae: J-pop gamine, sensual rock queen, deranged dub oracle. I ask Blunt what she brings to the equation. Their collaboration began after an acquaintance called Denna, now a band manager of sorts, passed them an art project she was working on, to interpret in their own way.

Blunt says that "at some point it'll be handed back. It can happen any time — I've probably got an email [from her] at home right now, saying: game over, I'm taking it back. Blunt, perhaps disingenuously, says that all the tracks come together in one take; he also says their ultra-lo-fi production is down to circumstance, not choice. I don't understand. I only know how to use tapes, that's why the music sounds shit.

As well as the dub, grime, jungle and hardcore punk that Blunt grew up on and was surrounded by, you can hear traces of American rap — deep, thugged-out vocals crop up frequently, and they've sampled Cassie and Drake. The mixed-race thing; he's not sure if he can be gangsta enough, he's quite a nice boy, but then he gets popular and he gets really arrogant, and starts to believe he's this thing that he's not. It's amazing. So is rap a big influence? What's the Story Morning Glory is the best album ever.

That's what I listen to day in day out. Inga can vouch for that — when she's staying over in Lisbon that's all she hears. I'm not joking. You know how Steve Jobs wore that same polo neck? I listen to the same album. It's this uncertainty that makes Hype Williams such an appealing prospect in an age of musicians with brand synergies and media training. At one gig last year, with the stage clogged in smoke and strobes, a teenage boy ran on a treadmill while a man in a disturbing rubber mask and Arsenal kit lurked on top of the speaker stacks.

Blunt and Copeland were pale outlines, divining bass that was so strong it physically assaulted the audience, and the show ended on a constant loop of chesty coughing. It was both silly and deadly serious, and powerful because it was meaningless. I reassure Blunt that I'm not interested in deconstructing them. There's that 'thing' in the world — music has it, every kind of art has it. And people talking about it can destroy it. Instead of trying to craft a statement, they aim for honest expression.

I'm not smart enough to have a philosophy. Everything means something to me in that moment, beyond that I don't care or know. Nothing means anything any more, so people should stop trying to make sense of things.

This rather nihilistic outlook is augmented by Blunt's belief in an impending apocalypse. The sign of the end of the world is when man is filled with too much information. You're going to have this younger generation who are so fucking tuned in, and their brains are so wired, that we're going to be obsolete. There will be no need for us.
