Dälek are a experimental alternative hip-hop duo hailing from Newark, New Jersey. They are arguably one of the most unique rap groups out in the underground. The group blends hip-hop with conscious lyrics and influences from noise, shoegaze, post-rock, industrial and drone. Dälek is currently composed of MC Dälek & producer Oktopus but at one time has turntablist Still (who left after the recording of "Absence.") Dälek is known for touring with other bands with vast genre styles in their career like Godflesh, Isis, and the Melvins. This is a bonus track exclusive to the Japanese release of this album.

This song is amazing, but is just so freaking hard to find that I'll use everything in power to find it and download in my music collection.

@SpikeyJamez Protip: take this vid's url and take it to a site like vid2mp3 {dot com} and convert the audio to mp3. Works like a charm :-)

This is an edited down version of the last track of the same name from the Deadverse Massive 12" vinyl (NOT the rarities collection) that features dälek, Destructo Swarmbots & Oddateee. The DV 12" version is 19 minutes long and the AL Daymare version above is the 1st 6 minutes of that tune, the only difference being the swarmbots beutiful, hazy guitar melodies are missing from the background.

Respect to dälek! This is what hip hop should be all about! : >
