Fade To Mind had me preview Fatima Al Qadiri‘s Desert Strike EP, which will be out everywhere later this month. The Brooklyn based composer has been at the top of the heap both conceptually and aesthetically since the release of Genre-Specific Xperience last year, and has named her latest EP after “Desert Strike: Return to the Gulf“, a top-down shooter based on Operation Desert Storm. Desert Strike begins right where GSX left off, with an excess of modal chants, horn echos and gun sounds that sonically pay homage to the militaristic futurism of early grime. “Desert Strike” and “War Games” stand out for me, which showcase her ability to work infectious melodies into a prophetic diaspora. Pre-order the album here before it’s official release on October 23.

WHO WE ARE

Dipped in Dollars (D.I.D.) is the brainchild of Chief and Danger. While attending a crazy liberal arts college in Vermont, we realized our mutual love of righteous dance music, art, and the people behind them. Along the way we were joined by Crimson and B.Darko. D.I.D. exists to share this love with you and hopefully turn you on to something new.

This site exists to promote artists, if you hear something you like, think about throwing the artist(s) a few dollars, buy an album, go to a concert, show them you care. If any artists or official people want us to take any of our links down, just shoot us an email and we'll take care of it.

If you wish to contact the team, send mail to did@dippedindollars.com or for individual addresses, check here. (But please not both, duplicates are a drag)
