Dalek - Endangered Philosophies - Music CD

Before Def Jux, before Death Grips, before Yeezus, there was Dlek" (Noisey). Pioneers of alt hip-hop, Dlek (pronounced "die-a-lek") features rapper/producer MC Dlek, producer/live electronics Mike Manteca, and turntabilist DJ Rek. With roots in the mid-'90s DIY scene, Dlek has been delivering groundbreaking albums for over 20 years. They have enraptured fans and critics across all genres, garnering fans and earning accolades from the hip-hop, electronic, indie, metal, shoegaze, jazz and experimental communities After releasing seven studio albums, numerous collaborations, EPs, and remixes, they continue to push boundaries with each release. "Endangered Philosophies is Dlek's signature sound pushed in new directions. Re-sculpted to say all that needs to be said today. It is no one element, but rather an amalgamation of the lyrics, sonics, drums, noise, melody, bass, and turntableism," explains MC Dlek of their newest work. "Endangered Philosophies is a very introspective record about very external forces. This isn't about one listen... it's about your evolving perception when you immerse yourself in the layers of sound and words. Endangered Philosophies is a record about the right now and yet will resonate differently each time it is listened to, in a word... timeless.
