This is a release on Type Records, the label I co-founded with John Xela. John was responsible for its musical output; I contributed in the first few years on design and running the label. The catalogue is archived here for posterity.
Clams Casino is the memorable pseudonym of New Jersey resident Mike Volpe, who shot from relative obscurity to production sensation after passing tunes to Soulja Boy and Bay Area superstar Lil B. After a genre-bending EP on the esteemed Tri-Angle label, this double LP compiles some of Clams' most crucial and sought after beats. With the raps stripped away the tracks take on a life of their own: the half-heard vocals, twisted, rolling beats and acid-bathed samples are pushed to the forefront. 'Instrumentals' is where it all begins.
Made at Type.
