mini-mix: Oneohtrix Point Never
Added 2020-03-23 15:36:09 +0000 UTCWith the release of his remix for The Weeknd overnight, today seems like a good day to celebrate the genius of prolific producer/composer Daniel Lopatin. Best known for his work as Oneohtrix Point Never, the man's career has had quite the trajectory, as he's gone from releasing a seminal vaporwave tape under his Chuck Person alias on a fellow blogger's label (unfortunately not on streaming services, but check it here), to performing live on SNL and composing a brilliant score for an Adam Sandler film over the course of the past decade.
His Oneohtrix Point Never material can feel a bit impenetrable for the uninitiated, but hopefully this playlist illustrates just how beautiful and accessible some of that stuff really is. Featuring highlights from his releases with Joel Ford as Games (and later, as Ford & Lopatin), classics from his vast 0PN catalog, his film score work, and his productions for fka Twigs and The Weekend, this mix barely scratches the surface. So check it at the links below, and if you're into it, take a deeper dive into his catalog.
[update: Apple Music is still somehow omitting songs from these playlists when i publish them, still can't figure out why! so check the spotify link for the full 15-song playlist]
