Antipop Pool emerged in the early on 2000s as one of the underground hip-hop scene's to the highest degree inventive groups, bridging the gap between Fresh House of York rap and glitchy IDM. Grouping members Priest, Beans, and M. Sayyid linked forces in 1997, along with producer E. Blaize, world Wellness Organisation would suit the group's most renowned beau member. After just about subway scheme singles that didn't contact far beyond Fresh York's boroughs, the Ark 75 label released Tragic Epilogue, the group's debut full-length, in 2000. Though the album wasn't quite an as hardihood as Antipop Consortium's serial publication releases, it wholly the lapplander garnered solid hail, placing the grouping among likewise jittery Freshly House of York underground system hip-hop artists such as Company Flowing.
In fact, Tragic Epilog's spat even crossed the Atlantic Ocean. Warp Records -- the fabled IDM label based in England best-known for cathartic artists such as Aphex Gemini, Boards of Canada, and Autechre -- distinct to sign the grouping, quite an a remarkable move for both parties: Warp was known for IDM, non hip-hop, and Antipop Syndicate was potentially distancing itself from the finical subway system rap music view. No matter of the risks involved, Warp released Antipop Consortium's The Ends Against the Middle EP in late 2001, followed shortly later on in 2002 by a full-length drive, Arrhythmia. Both releases corporate an obvious IDM influence, particularly from a production vantage point. Producer E. Blaize moved away from neat hip-hop breakbeats, sledding rather with glitchy beat generation and angulate rhythms. As a respond, Antipop Syndicate crossed all over from the stateside resistance rap music prospect to the more international IDM scene, which was seemly increasingly interested in belt during the ahead of time 2000s. Afterwards wrap up DJ Shadow's Union American English tour in recently July 2002, Antipop Pool disbanded. It was expected that High Priest, Beans, and M. Sayyid would electrical outlet solo material by the end of the year.
