and indie sleaze on the same lineup, but recently, a convergence has taken place. Music has been getting faster, louder and, for want of a better word, more online, and it\u2019s in this lineage that experimental rap production collective Surf Gang and electronic music duo Snow Strippers embarked on a US tour together across January and February. \u201cIt\u2019s fun because we have the same taste in music,\u201d Surf Gang label head Evilgiane tells Dazed. \u201cWe basically play a lot of stuff that I know Graham and Tati rock with and that\u2019s probably gonna amp up their fanbase, but then Eera and I mix in a lot of our own stuff too.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In the gallery above, Evilgiane gives an exclusive look inside his phone camera roll from the two-month-long tour, including shots of the two pioneering collectives together, a link-up with underground rap godfather Xaviersobased, and even Evilgiane\u2019s birthday celebrations mid-tour on February 17, which involved Korean BBQ followed by bowling with the crew at Shatto Lanes in LA.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Giane\u2019s performances during the tour also previewed an upcoming track with Rico Nasty, as well as \u201cslow month\u201d, a still unreleased collab between fellow Surf Gang member Eera and UK jerk rap revivalist YT. When asked who his favourite name on the UK underground circuit was, however, Giane gave a particular shout-out to John Glacier. \u201cEverything she makes is super wavy, especially the works she\u2019s done with Harrison,\u201d says Giane. \u201cI would love to collab with her again.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html-embed\">\n<div>\n<div>\n \n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>These photos arrive hot on the heels of the release of Giane\u2019s pensive lo-fi instrumental tape <\/span><em><span>Giane 2<\/span><\/em><span>, and just ahead of Surf Gang\u2019s highly anticipated double-sided collaborative album with renowned wordsmiths Earl Sweatshirt and Mike, <\/span><em><span>Pompeii \/\/ Utility,<\/span><\/em><span> out tomorrow (3rd April). From entertaining electro-pop crowds across the States to reinventing rap with two of its brightest minds, Giane\u2019s on a run right now.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Read on for Giane\u2019s highlights from his two-month tour with Snow Strippers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>How did this tour compare to previous show runs you\u2019ve done?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Evilgiane: <\/strong><span>It was cool. I got to catch up with a lot of people in different cities I don\u2019t normally get to kick it with. The Snow Stippers crowd is always wavy too, especially on this tour since they were doing a lot bigger venues than last time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>This obviously isn\u2019t the first time you\u2019ve toured with Snow Strippers. What do you think joins you guys together and makes you a good pairing live?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Evilgiane: <\/strong><span>It\u2019s fun because we have the same taste in music, so we basically play a lot of stuff that I know [Snow Strippers duo] Graham and Tati rock with, but then Eera and I mix in a lot of our own stuff too. Every set is special because it&#8217;s pretty much fully improvised and unique to each city. We just play whatever type of music we\u2019re feeling that day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Were there any shows that stood out as particularly special?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Evilgiane: <\/strong><span>The Oakland show was lit. It was my first time there, actually. We performed at The Fox Oakland Theater which was wavy too. It\u2019s basically an old movie theatre that was turned into a concert hall with Middle Eastern-inspired terracotta statues.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>I noticed you previewed the currently unreleased YT collab during the tour. Did you tease any other unreleased collaborations?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Evilgiane: <\/strong><span>I teased a little bit of stuff from my upcoming mixtape and a song with Rico Nasty, but it\u2019s generally a pretty collaborative process with Eera. We usually just chill and listen to music on tour so that really informs our set every night.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Were there any moments in between the tour dates that stood out? Any games or hobbies that helped you guys pass the time while travelling?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Evilgiane:<\/strong><span> We mostly just smoke, listen to music, and watch movies to pass the time, but it\u2019s cool to see the rest of the country too. We\u2019re all from the coasts, so it\u2019s cool to get a glimpse of other scenes, but it also makes us appreciate where we\u2019re from by the time we get home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>What was the best thing about getting back home?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Evilgiane: <\/strong><span>Seeing friends and family, my nieces, brothers, my mom, my girlfriend. Also, the food. I usually hit [Brooklyn, NY, southern food spot] Pies &amp; Thighs at some point when I\u2019m back. And other than that, really just having the chance to stay in one place and be still.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"newsletter-inline-last\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-small\">\n<div class=\"inner\">\n<h1 class=\"newsletter-title\">Escape the algorithm!

Music has been getting faster, louder and, for want of a better word, more online, and it\u2019s in this lineage that experimental rap production collective Surf Gang and electronic music duo Snow Strippers embarked on a US tour together across January and February. \u201cIt\u2019s fun because we have the same taste in music,\u201d Surf Gang label head Evilgiane tells Dazed. \u201cWe basically play a lot of stuff that I know Graham and Tati rock with and that\u2019s probably gonna amp up their fanbase, but then Eera and I mix in a lot of our own stuff too.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In the gallery above, Evilgiane gives an exclusive look inside his phone camera roll from the two-month-long tour, including shots of the two pioneering collectives together, a link-up with underground rap godfather Xaviersobased, and even Evilgiane\u2019s birthday celebrations mid-tour on February 17, which involved Korean BBQ followed by bowling with the crew at Shatto Lanes in LA.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Giane\u2019s performances during the tour also previewed an upcoming track with Rico Nasty, as well as \u201cslow month\u201d, a still unreleased collab between fellow Surf Gang member Eera and UK jerk rap revivalist YT. When asked who his favourite name on the UK underground circuit was, however, Giane gave a particular shout-out to John Glacier. \u201cEverything she makes is super wavy, especially the works she\u2019s done with Harrison,\u201d says Giane. \u201cI would love to collab with her again.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html-embed\">\n<div>\n<div>\n \n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>These photos arrive hot on the heels of the release of Giane\u2019s pensive lo-fi instrumental tape <\/span><em><span>Giane 2<\/span><\/em><span>, and just ahead of Surf Gang\u2019s highly anticipated double-sided collaborative album with renowned wordsmiths Earl Sweatshirt and Mike, <\/span><em><span>Pompeii \/\/ Utility,<\/span><\/em><span> out tomorrow (3rd April). From entertaining electro-pop crowds across the States to reinventing rap with two of its brightest minds, Giane\u2019s on a run right now.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Read on for Giane\u2019s highlights from his two-month tour with Snow Strippers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>How did this tour compare to previous show runs you\u2019ve done?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Evilgiane: <\/strong><span>It was cool. I got to catch up with a lot of people in different cities I don\u2019t normally get to kick it with. The Snow Stippers crowd is always wavy too, especially on this tour since they were doing a lot bigger venues than last time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>This obviously isn\u2019t the first time you\u2019ve toured with Snow Strippers. What do you think joins you guys together and makes you a good pairing live?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Evilgiane: <\/strong><span>It\u2019s fun because we have the same taste in music, so we basically play a lot of stuff that I know [Snow Strippers duo] Graham and Tati rock with, but then Eera and I mix in a lot of our own stuff too. Every set is special because it&#8217;s pretty much fully improvised and unique to each city. We just play whatever type of music we\u2019re feeling that day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Were there any shows that stood out as particularly special?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Evilgiane: <\/strong><span>The Oakland show was lit. It was my first time there, actually. We performed at The Fox Oakland Theater which was wavy too. It\u2019s basically an old movie theatre that was turned into a concert hall with Middle Eastern-inspired terracotta statues.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>I noticed you previewed the currently unreleased YT collab during the tour. Did you tease any other unreleased collaborations?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Evilgiane: <\/strong><span>I teased a little bit of stuff from my upcoming mixtape and a song with Rico Nasty, but it\u2019s generally a pretty collaborative process with Eera. We usually just chill and listen to music on tour so that really informs our set every night.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Were there any moments in between the tour dates that stood out? Any games or hobbies that helped you guys pass the time while travelling?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Evilgiane:<\/strong><span> We mostly just smoke, listen to music, and watch movies to pass the time, but it\u2019s cool to see the rest of the country too. We\u2019re all from the coasts, so it\u2019s cool to get a glimpse of other scenes, but it also makes us appreciate where we\u2019re from by the time we get home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>What was the best thing about getting back home?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Evilgiane: <\/strong><span>Seeing friends and family, my nieces, brothers, my mom, my girlfriend. Also, the food. I usually hit [Brooklyn, NY, southern food spot] Pies &amp; Thighs at some point when I\u2019m back. And other than that, really just having the chance to stay in one place and be still.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"newsletter-inline-last\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-small\">\n<div class=\"inner\">\n<h1 class=\"newsletter-title\">Escape the algorithm!
