Down a Rabbit Hole with Pseudo Slang’s ‘Non-Alienated: Mint Edition’ Guest Mix
This mix—somewhere between a dubbed out music trip, and a dreamscape-y radio show/program—was sparked by Vice beats reaching out to Pseudo Slang inquiring about a “Guest Mix” before the pandemic hit our world with the KO shot.
Cudtry Cadillac, Soul Amazing, and Sickeee had started digging into the stacks at the PStudio before the quarantine was a thing, but lockdown quickly set in while the crew was already immersed in ‘Non-Alienated: Mint Edition.’ So, it really turned into a deep dive down the rabbit hole from there!
“It felt like we ended up just creating what we ourselves really needed,” says Sick. “Which was essentially companionship – a reprieve from isolation and anxiety. This manifested in chit-chat over records spinning, which of course we consider ourselves hella lucky to have in our life, therefore the onus is on us to share that vent.”
Speaking of vents, there was surely some smoke in the air during the process. Namely some alien mints a homie contributed… So then when Sick ran into Sharkula on a grocery mission he was like “I wanted to share this with you fam… *but yo* – do me a solid and call my phone voicemail and leave a drop plus a story after you partake.” Thus, this is how the intro of the mix and a very dope recounting from Shark’s endless well of really amazing stories came to make its way onto this saga of music and vibe exploration.
