Chicago producer DJ Rashad's music taps into two increasingly familiar narratives: One about the relationship between techno and trap characterized by artists like TNGHT, and another about the lingering relevance of 1990s drum n bass, a style that shaped frantic percussion tracks into music that sounded uniform and continuous. Built around samples of Tupac Shakur's dialogue from the 1992 drama Juice, Rashad's latest single-- included on last month's I Don't Give a Fuck EP and his forthcoming Hyperdub album Double Cup (out October 22)-- juxtaposes a slurried, dialtone-like melody and spray of hi-hats with a sour, eerie atmosphere.
