2011 was the year of the free mixtape. Acts like Danny Brown, Death Grips, and A$AP Rocky all broke through by releasing music for no charge. Amid these successes were some tapes that passed completely under the radar. The Narcissist II by Dean Blunt is one such tape. The half-hour compilation is a blend of lo-fi R&B, hip hop, and drones, tied together with samples of theatric verbal abuse. It's a disorienting mess, but an interesting one nonetheless. Near mixtape's end, there is a striking duet between Blunt and his songwriting partner Inga Copeland. The song is a rare moment [...]

This stellar new Dean Blunt & Inga Copeland tune/video was dropped into my inbox earlier today - "Can We Poison Dub" of course incorporates a lot of snippets/elements/samples of earlier Hype Williams/DB&IC tracks and it sometimes seems tough to pin down what exactly is new and previously unheard, but this one at any rate develops a riveting dynamic over the course of its eight minutes before it drops out again all of a sudden, with no further explanation given. Just listen, and if you haven't gotten your hands on the duo's excellent Hyperdub debut yet, be sure to [...]
After 3 albums across as many labels, the duo Dean Blunt and Inga Copeland, also of the group Hype Williams, have just released their debut Hyperdub LP, Black is Beautiful. Amidst rumors circulating, and confirmed by their 'advisor' Denna Frances, the album was recorded during a tremulous period for the ...
The duo behind Hype Williams Dean and Inga will be releasing a new project titled ' Black is Beautiful ' next week which consists of twelve cuts that are surely making their rotation rounds here at the office. One of the cuts on the Lp (track two) is a cover of a record ' Baby by Donnie & Joe Emerson ', that actually got a lot of spins in my household growing up. 'The Narcissist,' which you can view above is just as haunting. Link to listen to the whole album is below. Stream: Dean Blunt [...]
Very into the new Dean Blunt & Inga Copeland LP Black Is Beautiful that drops one week from today on Hyperdub , which you can listen to now exclusively over at Resident Advisor . Bizarre + disorienting dubby vibes abound as expected with these two, but perhaps the weirdest thing here is that track 2 is a lovely cover of one of our all-time favorite slow jams - Donnie & Joe Emerson's " Baby " - played relatively straight, and it's kind of haunting. Listen [...]

'The Narcissist II' was up earlier for download but now has reached its download limit, stream is still available through their soundcloud . Cloudy, post-melodic, and more ambiance; Blunt and Copeland have something new brewing and its definitely worth giving a listen... ______________________________ ______________________________ _____________________ Previously :: [...]
We've had Dean Blunt , Inga Copeland , Dean Blunt & Inga Copeland , and now Dean Blunt featuring Inga Copeland: whatever. It still has " Hype Williams " written all over it. Not sure (as usual) if "Choice of a New Generation" is the correct title (a simple "Track 23 has also been suggested ), but that's how it was tagged on YouTube. In any case, it's gonna appear on Blunt's forthcoming solo effort The Narcissist II . Exceptionally gentle and smooth and almost not twisted in any way at all, we totally dig [...]
1. Clams Casino - All I Need / I'm God from Instrumental Mixtape ( Type ) Even if both these beats technically came out last year beneath Soulja Boy and Lil' B raps respectively, it wasn't until about half way through this year that the full mountainous weight of these instrumentals really hit me. And just out of Imogen Heap samples, I mean shit! 2. James [...]
As with anything that pops up on their Soundcloud these days I'm not entirely sure what this is or where this is from, but considering that the Inga's vocals are pretty dominant, I assume it really is a Copeland tune and not a Hype Williams one. The title might or might not be "Belvedere". In any case I dig it. In related news, there are still copies left of that rad VHS of collected HW Youtube works, released a few weeks back by Hundebiss . Cop it here . Speaking of, I [...]
The video for Brooklyn synthwave magician Oneohtrix Point Never's track " Sleep Dealer " might be even weirder and more disorienting than his animation-heavy video for "Replica." In the "Sleep Dealer" clip, all we get is repeated disconnected images. At least a couple of them seem to come from beverage commercials, and all of them are made to look disturbingly Lynchian. And for some reason, barely a minute long, way shorter than the actual track. Inga Copeland and Dean Blunt direct. If you're looking for a way to plunge your post-Halloween hangover into disturbed territory, click away below, [...]
