Exploring the newest grooves of the Information Age

A quarter-century after the microprocessor's invention, the world music scene is in the throes of an epochal transformation from the Analog Age to the Digital Age.

Unfortunately, your average knucklehead is still going about making & distributing music as if the lute and pennywhistle were the latest technological innovation and the Gregorian mode was still in ascendance.

Vinyl was dead until a new generation of youths came along and pointed out that CD audio quality does, in fact, suck. There are millions of new media audio studios out there and the tragic reality is that the vast majority of them suck too.

hiphopkins productions stand out from the vast, stinking morass of aural mediocrity by basically producing music that does not suck.

Hiphop, triphop, tekno, ambient, pop, future vintage - whatever. If the truth be told, we make it all look ridiculously easy.

We triangulate between the dark, the light, and the low end-boom.

Without music, life itself is a mistake.

Proliferate or perish.
