Once a month on solipsistic NATION<\/b> I showcase a label that\u2019s putting out such amazing releases that I feel it\u2019s my duty as host of this show to turn you on to that label. On today\u2019s show we\u2019re going to listen to select tracks from Dope Records<\/a> and talk to the label\u2019s founder, Fariz Suleiman.\n<\/p>\n\n

I wish I could tell you how I came across Dope Records. I mean, I know I came across them through Zite<\/a> on my iPad. I\u2019ve created a section that focuses on electronic music, so even though I came across Dope Records through Zite, Zite pulled the website from any hundred or so blogs dedicated to electronic music. So who knows?<\/p>\n

What I do know was that once I was at their web site and started listening to some of the tracks they made available online I became a fan. I expected that a label called Dope Records would feature hip hop releases but I was confounded when I heard everything from ambient to metal to dubstep to noise. I loved it! So I reached out to Fariz to join us on today\u2019s show. I\u2019ve included links in the playlist below to purchase nearly all the tracks heard on today\u2019s show. Show Dope Records and the artists some love by buying a track or two that you dug, an album or two if you\u2019re feeling particularly generous.<\/p>\n

Quick note: today\u2019s interview was actually recorded back in August but as I mentioned last week, I went on a sabbatical for a couple of months so it had to wait. I apologize to you and Fariz for the delay. But trust me on this, it is<\/i> worth the wait.<\/p>\n\n
