Clams Casino B-Side Instrumentals & Remixes / Alt. Link
Earlier this afternoon, Clams Casino (quickly becoming the topic of choice on this blog) decided to release instrumental versions of fan-requested tracks not featured on his head-turning new mixtape. “B-sides” in his terms.
Bears Eat Beats compiled most of the instrumentals, but either missed or omitted the remix tracks he put out, including a re-working of Mobb Deep’s “Got It Twisted,” that dates back to 2006, and definitely has a proto-based vibe. (Flips of “Tell Me When To Go” and “Sittin’ Sidewayz” are other favorites.)
So, yeah, I went ahead and zipped everything up in one place and tagged it up for the OCD crowd out there. Hit the link above for the download, and get the physical release of Clams Casino when it comes out on Type Records.

This earlier Clams Casino stuff isn’t as “sbased” as the Instrumentals tape, but you can definitely see that it’s where the later stuff was coming from.
Thing about Clammyclams that I like so much is that it’s like real music. I like Flying Lotus (closest comparable?) just fine, but FL’s productions don’t really sound like music to me. They’re like music sliding off the wall in a thick trail of Gen. Tsao’s chicken sauce. Clammyclam’s stuff sounds like something that makes sense as music. It’s a bit ineffable.
Oh and Clams Casino’s Twitter handle is @clammyclams, if you didn’t know, and that’s how I refer to him in my head sometimes because it cracks me up.
