Live Review: SOUNDCLOUD WRAP: ICSSC

As much as you'd like it to, the acronym ICSSC doesn't stand for some badass inter-dimensional spaceship the government has been keeping under wraps for the last 50 years - it stands for something much cooler.

The I CAN'T STAND STILL COLLECTIVE is a collection of dudes who like to drink, dance and DJ. Eventually these guys thought it would be cool if they put on parties, and it was cool (and still is). These parties started getting so cool, that the likes of international artists such as LAPALUX, BALAM ACAB, MOSCA, JIMMY EDGAR, SALVA, and more started getting involved.

We were so amazed by the sheer coolness factor of these guys that we wanted to get in touch with them. We managed to get a hold of CLUNK, the guy who started ICSSC and we got the lowdown on some of his all-time (and current) fav tunes, in a special edition of our SOUNDCLOUD WRAP series.

ARCA '2 Blunted'

'Almost a year old but still rears it's demented head in every set I play. This dude had a beat on Kanye's last album & produced most of that FKA Twigs stuff.'

DYP 'Roads'

'One of the most enthusiastic dudes you'll ever see in the dance, and one of the most talented individuals I know, DYP has been producing for some time now and has a bunch of great EP's and collars under his belt. This is my new favourite that he just uploaded today, 'Roads'.'

CATLIPS 'Kanimbla' + 'What U Want & Need'

'CATLIPS is one of my favourite human females. She's from Perth & is making some of the best, super percussive, bone rattling house I've ever heard. Her live A/V show is pretty bad ass too.'

CLAMS CASINO 'Melthru'

'It's criminal how short this is, but I reckon this is the best track from the new CLAMS CASINO mixtape. For those in the dark about him, he was behind the most successful beats on early records from Lil B, Main Attrakionz, and A$AP Rocky. He has truly shaped the sound of hip hop over the last couple of years.'

JEROME LOL 'Fool' ft. ANGELINA LUCERO

'We had JEROME out for our Circo Festival last year and for me, him & Evian stole the show. JEROME has been around for a long long time and those shuffling hi hat patterns and jazz drum samples make everything he does instantly recognisable. Fool is one his best to date.'

MISSINGNO 'Skeezers'

'My friends definitely wish I would shut up about this song. But it's impeccable. Bad gal Ri Ri sampling slowww trap banger.'

RICH HOMIE QUAN 'Some Type Of Way'

'We put on a party with Oneman on a rooftop and I lost my firkin mind when he played this.'

LIL WAYNE & BIRDMAN 'Stuntin' Like My Daddy' (SUICIDEYEAR Remix)

'Suicideyear has been slowly releasing music onto his band camp over the last year or so. Alongside Hud Mo, Arca and Evian Christ, he's another fresh producer than the main stream hip hop world have their beady eyes on.'

YOUNG THUG 'Stoner'

'This is one of those club hip hop tracks that just works absolutely anywhere. At the very least, THUG's voice will turn at least a few heads to the DJ booth.'

YUNG GUD & YUNG SHERMAN - 'A Title Is Required' & 'Always On My Mind'

'Unless you take yourself a little bit too seriously, like my friend Anthony, you'll probably love Yung Lean. A weird as hell Swedish teen rapper with an amazing stable of in house producers, 2 of which are listed below. There's a lot of good music coming out of Sweden right now.'

GO YAMA 'BMOYAMA' (GO YAMA Lake Flip From Adventure Time)

'I invited some bikini babes over to dance to this song! I don't even watch Adventure Time but Yo Yama made a beat with a BMO acapella over it and I've been living inside it for the last week or so.'
