From the ever-expansive journey that is Natural (video below) to the almost-cataclysmic stature of Waterfalls (listen below), Clams Casino’s music takes hip hop beats to a newly subconscious level of understanding. His sounds range from awe-inspiring peaks to cold, distant valleys, and that contrast is no more noticeable than on ‘Rainforest’. He’s also known to many as Clams Casino, a hip hop producer who has skyrocketed into the consciousness of electronic music fans worldwide, first with his beats for internet rapper Lil B and teen hip hop star Soulja Boy and now for his own releases: a mixtape of instrumentals that’s now getting a vinyl release by the incandescent Type label, and ‘Rainforest’, his debut EP on the consistently impressive Tri-Angle Records. Mike Volpe isn’t your average 24-year old physical therapy student from New Jersey.
