Today, November 12th, Clipping shares “Keep Pushing,” a driving new jam with electro-funk and big-beat elements, written and produced by the group, featuring strings from John W. Snyder, mixed by Steve Kaplan, and mastered by Levi Seitz at Blackbelt Mastering.
“Keep Pushing” is another offering from Clipping’s forthcoming new album, a long-in-the-works Hip-Hop and Cyberpunk project, due worldwide from Sub Pop in 2025. It follows the release of the group’s acclaimed horrorcore series Visions of Bodies Being Burned (2020) and There Existed an Addiction to Blood (2019), also available from Sub Pop.
Last month, Clipping released the official video for the single “Run It.” Consequence of Sound says of the track, “It seems as if Clipping have rediscovered their love for rave-ready bangers — at least Clipping’s fucked up version of a rave-ready banger. ‘Run It’ is a relentless, skittering, up-tempo rager complete with noisy embellishments and Daveed Diggs’ technical flows. In other words, it goes nuts.”
Stereogum said, “It’s a fast, physical rap attack…On ‘Run It,’ Daveed Diggs goes into athletic overdrive, rapping over a pulsing, clanking, extremely fast beat from his bandmates Jonathan Snipes and William Hutson. The track’s smears of digital noise sometimes cohere into Detroit techno riffs. This is a good one — a track that keeps all the prickly intensity of clipping.’s music without getting so extreme that you couldn’t play it on your headphones while you’re on the treadmill. In the quick-cut Lawrence Klein-directed video, secret agents tail clipping. through DC, Berlin, Prague, New Delhi, Bangkok, and Seoul, on some Jason Bourne/Carmen Sandiego shit.”
Clipping will appear at Knoxville’s Big Ears Festival on Saturday, March 29th, 2025. Tickets for the fest are on sale now—additional tour dates to be announced soon.
Today, September 12th, Clipping shares the official video for the new song “Run It,” directed by Lawrence Klein. The fast-paced visual, which stars the group (Daveed Diggs, Jonathan Snipes, William Hutson) as a jet-setting international criminal export organization, was shot across three continents and six countries (US, Germany, South Korea, Thailand, India, and the Czech Republic). “Run It” was written and produced by Clipping, mixed by Steve Kaplan, and mastered by Levi Seitz at Blackbelt Mastering.
“Run It” is from Clipping’s forthcoming new album, a long-in-the-works Hip-Hop and Cyberpunk project, due worldwide from Sub Pop in 2025. This is also the first new material since the release of the group’s acclaimed horrorcore series Visions of Bodies Being Burned (2020) and There Existed An Addiction To Blood (2019), also available from Sub Pop.

Today, Tuesday, February 20th, marks the release of a split single featuring Clipping’s “Tipsy” and Cooling Prongs’ “Midnight,” available worldwide from Sub Pop.
Clipping’s “Tipsy” was previously only available as part of the 2020 Save Stereogum, an exclusive ‘00s Covers Comp and crowdfunding campaign for the site’s supporters. Clipping was one of 40 artists asked to record never-before-heard covers of songs from 2000-2009. Clipping says, “J-Kwon’s ‘Tipsy’ is one of the greatest party rap songs of all time. We could never make a beat as hard as the original, so we took our version in another direction — something like if Skinny Puppy had somehow remixed it in the late 1980s.”
“Midnight” by Cooling Prongs (AKA Christopher Fleeger, who collaborated with Clipping on Double Live) is a musique concrète tribute to Ice-T’s classic track of the same name. Fleeger’s process involved recording for many weeks, every night between midnight and 6am, with microphones mounted to the outside of his van, at all the locations mentioned in the lyrics to the original song. Hundreds of hours of audio were edited and arranged to create a field-recording companion to the journey the rapper describes through South Central Los Angeles, from the AMPM location on Vermont, through all of the intersections he names, finally ending at Ice-T’s childhood home, just off Crenshaw.
Clipping has also scheduled a series of UK & European tour dates for 2024, which begin Thursday, April 18th in Tilburg, NL with an appearance at the Roadburn Festival, and run through Thursday, April 25th in Leeds, UK at Project House.
Fri. Apr. 19 - Tilburg, NL - Roadburn Festival Sat. Apr. 20 - Krems an der Donau, AT - Donaufestival Sun. Apr. 21 - Munich, DE - Zirka Mon. Apr. 23 - Koln, DE - Club Volta Wed. Apr. 24 - Brussels, BE - Les Nuits Botanique Thu. Apr. 25 - Leeds, UK- Project House
Clipping recently announced REMXNG, a quartet of EPs featuring remixes of tracks from the band’s Horrorcore-themed albums, There Existed an Addiction to Blood and Visions of Bodies Being Burned. Each EP showcases remixers hand-picked by Clipping to slash, mangle, and brutalize the band’s music into all-new, exquisitely macabre, creations. The full REMXNG series has featured an incredible array of contributors including Loraine James, James Acaster & John Dietrich, Bogdan Raczynzki, Blectum From Blechdom, Cheryl E. Leonard, Lauren Bousfield, Oil Thief, Evischen, TENGGER, Rian Treanor, Baseck, Fire Toolz, ZULI, akeyamasou, David Rothbaum, Ian Little, Rrose, Wobbly, Stazma, Speaker Music, and Thomas Dimuzio.
For the fourth installment of the series, electro-acoustic pioneer Carl Stone leads with “Citadel Bod Doodt,” a composition based around a creaky loop from Clipping’s “She Bad” that evolves into a tangled knot of chopped-up vocals. “A Clipping Story” showcases prolific Kenyan experimentalist Slikback, who edits multiple Clipping songs into a frenetic collage of overlapping rhythms. Oakland’s Lexagon disassembles “Run For Your Life” into bouncy, disjointed loops, and Patric Catani’s “Something Underneath” amplifies the original’s science fictional atmosphere into a heavy cavernous trudge. Berlin duo Schwefelgelb transform “All In Your Head” into dancefloor-ready dark techno, and Paris-based musique concrète composer Aho Ssan processes “Looking Like Meat” into a droning digital smear. REMXNG 2.4 closes with “Down” by Cooling Prongs (frequent Clipping collaborator Christopher Fleeger), which interpolates melodic vocal snippets from multiple songs and weaves them into a demented operatic choir.
Clipping’s REMXNG2.1, 2.2, 2.3, and 2.4 are available on all DSPs from Sub Pop.

On Wednesday, September 21st, 2022, Clipping announced REMXNG, a quartet of EPs featuring remixes of tracks from the band’s Horrorcore-themed albums, There Existed an Addiction to Blood and Visions of Bodies Being Burned. Each EP showcases remixers hand-picked by Clipping to slash, mangle, and brutalize the band’s music into all-new, exquisitely macabre, creations.
REMXNG 2.3 opens with a frenetic, surreal vocal interpretation of “Attunement” by the legendary (and only recently reunited) duo Blectum From Blechdom, followed by and old-school Industrial-inspired “He Dead” by former Duran Duran and Roxy Music producer, Ian Little. Minimal techno experimentalist Rrose’s remix of “‘96 Neve Campbell” features a stuttering, rubbery bounce, and Wobbly (member of Negativland) mangles “Blood of the Fang” into a overstuffed, plunderphonic collage. Stazma’s “Say The Name” is a virtuosic Jungle chop, while Speaker Music’s DeForrest Brown Jr. stretches “Say the Name” and “Something Underneath” into syncopated techno abstraction. The EP closes with a woozy, apocalyptic “Eaten Alive” by Thomas Dimuzio, who also contributed his talents as a mastering artist to the series of EPs.
REMXNG 2.3 is the third of four such EPs, which will be released every Wednesday through October 12, 2022.
Clipping’s international touring for the fall of 2022, resumes with 14-date UK and EU run beginning November 11th in Ultrecht, Netherlands at Le Guess Who? Festival and ending November 29th in Aarhus, Denmark at Voxhall.

Last Wednesday, September 21st, 2022, Clipping announced REMXNG, a quartet of EPs featuring remixes of tracks from the band’s Horrorcore-themed albums, There Existed an Addiction to Blood and Visions of Bodies Being Burned. Each EP showcases remixers hand-picked by Clipping to slash, mangle, and brutalize the band’s music into all-new, exquisitely macabre, creations.
REMXNG 2.2 leads with UK producer Rian Treanor’s jagged, stuttering edit of “‘96 Neve Campbell.” Treanor blends underground dance music genres with the techniques of musique concrète, and computer music, slicing the slasher-themed track into a collage of stabbing jump-scares. James Acaster (who happens to also be one of the band’s favorite comedians) collaborated with Deerhoof’s John Diederich on a mash-up of the band’s “She Bad” and “He Dead,” which is followed by a synth freak-out rework of “Run for Your Life” by Baseck (who frequently appears as a turntablist on Clipping albums). Next is Fire-Toolz’s hyperactive neon glitch symphony of “Attunement.” Egyptian producer ZULI gives “Make Them Dead” a crushingly heavy Drum & Bass flip, and akeyamasou’s mysterious “Something Underneath” remix atomizes its source into a dense cloud of IDM haze. The EP closes with a miniature for modular synthesizer and sampler by David Rothbaum—another frequent Clipping collaborator.
REMXNG 2.2 is the second of four such EPs, which will be released every Wednesday through October 12, 2022.
Clipping’s international touring for the fall of 2022, resumes with an appearance at Southern California’s Desert Daze Festival Friday, September 30th.

Recently, four of Clipping’s songs were featured on a new app developed with Modify Music, which is available now on iOS and Android app stores. This is a real-time mixing app, that has each song separated into four “stems” that can be mixed on the fly. Alongside the original stems, the listener will have the option to switch out and mix in alternative stems that Jonathan Snipes produced just for the app. The app can be found here: https://modifymusic.com/artists/clipping/
