Anticon

[holyzombiejesus]

Anyone remember those Anticon guys with their backpacks and crazy voices? I really liked some of the stuff. cLOUDEAD were great and Why? made one of my favourite songs of the last 20 years. I also liked how they went on to collaborate with other people i liked, such as Hood and The Notwist. Some of the stuff could be unsufferably wacky at times, saw one act (and can't remember who it was now, think it was Doseone) and it was just really irritating. Started buying lots of their stuff when we had an ace record shop in Manchester that stocked loads of this stuff, alongside associated acts on labels like Lex and Morr.

Also, at one ATP, I woke up to find Yoni Wolf in my chalet as my friend had shagged him on the beach and brought him back for breakfast.

Way back in 2004 I bought this excellent compilation from Imperial (RIP) in Bristol that I was obsessed with for a while

But I never really went much further besides uhhh I had a Sage Francis album definitely... hmm. Can't remember what else.

Big fan of the Themselves album, called "Them". It's a collaboration between Doseone and Jel, I believe.
