The area’s emerging electronic scene needs a figurehead. Might it be the charismatic and omnipresent Oak City Slums?
As Oak City Slums, Raleigh electro-magnate and beat shark Rodney Finch has become an ubiquitous force within the Triangle’s instrumental hip-hop and electronic music pockets. Through a string of recent performances in Durham in collaboration with the Bull City collective Raund Haus, Slums’ kinetic, show-stealing sets have suggested he might be the most competent, compelling producer to spearhead local momentum. Might he lead us toward some fraction of the acclaim that Los Angeles’s renowned experimental beat showcase, Low End Theory, receives with the likes of Flying Lotus and Daedelus?
