FACT mix 258: Clams Casino


If FACT was GQ (we wish), and did a Man of the Year award, Clams Casino would be pretty near the top of 2011′s contenders.

The New Jersey producer was already making a name for himself on the strength of his rap beats for Lil B, Soulja Boy, Main Attrakionz and more, when at the start of this year he released a remarkable free instrumental mixtape. Turns out without vocals, Clams’ instrumentals – often lo-fi, cold, and haunted by female vocals stretched to breaking point – only shone that much brighter.

This week, Clams releases a new solo EP, Rainforest. Appropriately, it sees him move even further away from the straighter structures associated with most rap productions, and start to really hone a new sound; a clipped kind of Amazonian industrial. But, as page two’s interview with Clams will show, it’s all just beats to him.

While reading said interview, you can download his mix for FACT. It took a while to happen due to Clams’ computer dying, but it’s here now and we’re very excited to host it. No tracklist, but Gucci Mane, DMX and more feature.

    He IS a hip hop producer, so surely you expect hip hop?

    I mean its far from the soulful/insightful rap you expect from Common, Kweli and so on but Clams is all about instrumentals and some of these are quite sick.

  • Bizness

     Gotta love someone self titled as King* Kroba

  • hauteur

    seek therapy. the vitriol and hyperbole is unnecessary. all this over a fledgling bedroom “producer”? lol

  • hauteur

    …yeah, because fans of music aren’t allowed to have opinions. not everyone aspires to sit in their mother’s basement and make beats with fruity loops and reason.

  • jose maria

    pure trash like most of 90 per cent of new music floading the market today.the music industry is full of kids in their bedroom doing music with cracked out software and djs spinning in big time festivals with beatport tracks (in the best of cases)….i give up sorry,i d rather spent my money on a 60 or 70 pshych forgotten album than in this fake thing that we call music today(fake people,fake mags,fake tattos …fake culture in general)by the way i miss the old fact a lot.

  • best cold meats

    not wack as fuck.

  • voltask

    15 minutes past the diamond followed by Lights camera action = great stuff

  • psychic tire

    it’s clams, no way!  I was reading that as claims for the entire so far duration of his hype.  claims casino sounds like it would make sense to someone else, clams casino sounds like a cartoon.  too jaded to focus on the music part, talk more about clams.

  • Geraouuu

    fuck em haters   clamyclam doin it big!

  • tjp

    Best question for the shitty commenters: “What would YOU play if FACT asked you to do a mix?”. ANSWER: “No one gives a shit cuz it 1000 to 1 ain’t happenin.”. MF always wanna be the kings of listening to music. You should be too busy on your own grind! Dude didn’t wake up famous. 

  • beaujolais

    You have to have swag, to understand swag.

    Does that comment of Michael have anything to do with the fact that Clams Casino is a fledgling bedroom producer? I don’t think so.
