Mix: Ryan Hemsworth –“Collected” (Fools Gold 35)

[LISTEN HERE! The MixCloud player never embeds for me.]

One of the most exciting aspects of Ryan Hemsworth creations is not only the impeccable production and his infinite genius, but also his uncanny ability to excel in any genre, be it indie dance or trap music.  But he really seems to find a niche within hip-hop, which is evident in this mix he curated for the Fool’s Gold podcast series.  ”Collected” features Hemsworth’s trippy, fantastical interpretation of sounds from Grimes, Future, Big Boi, and the like.  The way he manipulates the rugged, aggressive vocals of Waka Flocka Flame, for example, into some beautiful, unlikely symphony is kinda like finding a diamond in the rough.   Unfuckwittable.
