about

Originally released as a digital only copy on the now defunct but influential rap blog Twankle & Glisten this mix is finally getting a physical release in the appropriate format for this music. It was the last mix ever posted on T&G but the one that got the most play from me so years later I decided to reach out to Slizzard and make this thing happen. The focus of the mix is to high light Memphis' use of the cowbell where it was pitched and warped to create the soundtrack to dust and murder. All profits from the sale of this tape will be donated to the Mid South Food Bank in Memphis (www.midsouthfoodbank.org).

Below is the original post describing this mix and if you never read T&G you should at least go mine it for any links that might still work.

Made this months ago but have sitting on it meaning to write, slowed down by fatherhood. The 6th and most involved Twankle & Glisten mixtape. Internet revisionism, a made-up genre. If Second Line is celebratory funeral music, this is its mirror: hypnotic swirls of robot cowbell to premeditate murder to. I've layered the tracks, added echo and samples. A lot of inbetween moments put to use here: outros, intros, roll calls, interludes, instrumentals, as though cowbell cuts are emergent phenomena like sidewalk weeds that sprout up naturally in the cracks between songs when the conditions are goldilocks. These tracks range from slow to very slow, excepting only some double time shit like the Alkatraz Ridaz cut, which is the mix's only professional seeming production and incidentally one of its most intricate cowbell loops.
