-
- Music Interviews
Juicy the Emissary and I run through a myriad of Texas rap history and obscure K-Mart tales. You see, on Thanksgiving 1989, Kmart employee and audio enthusiast Mark Davis wandered behind the customer service desk to check out the store’s sound system, which looped muzak and top 40 plus ads and announcements under the banner of “KMRT, The Kmart Radio Network.” In September 2015, Davis uploaded the tapes to the internet with the humble intention of preserving them. But within a few weeks he became an internet celebrity among obscure media fans and similarly, Attention Kmart Choppers is composed of pieces chopped up, resculpted, and mosaicked together by Juicy The Emissary, forming a new, distinctly contemporary sound while inheriting a haunting nostalgia that provokes memories burrowed deep in the subconscious. The aural architect has a new project called Timber! and we chat about how the project began a few years ago and how it finally became a complete body of work to kick off 2020!
