How the fuck does reality come up with shit like “electronic-tribal musician who uses KKK aesthetics to promote African nationalism is cancelled after people find out he’s actually a white guy from France”, I swear to God if you write this shit out in a book you’d get called out for being unrealistically on the nose with this shit
OF COURSE HE’S FRENCH
Average French musician (maybe not really but it’s weird how many orientalist and other racially fetishistic music projects I’ve seen from French musicians)
I mean it’s crackers all around
Are you trying to be as cringe as that dude?
I think i’m gonna go back to bed
Wake up tomorrow, have a good do-over
Wake me up when September ends.
oh, honey, we are well into november
edited to not seem infantalizing/misogynistic. supposed to be a bad reference to that one show and i haven’t had caffiene yet
Next September. I slept
It’s Eternal September I’m afraid. Cost of being woke.
Wouldn’t want to miss the October Revolution, eh?
I regret learning about any of this
I swear to God if you write this shit out in a book you’d get called out for being unrealistically on the nose with this shit
Considering the type of shit you see from fascists that is always more horrific and monstrous than anything an artist could ever conjure, I never want to hear smarmy media critics talk about “unrealistic” or “over-the-top” villains ever again
The evil ass villains all having to have tragic backstories or humanizing moments is more unrealistic
so, a white french guy dresses as a klan member and preaches that black people should go back to their country of origin while making dogshit music? am i reading this correctly?
21·4 months agoThe text doesn’t say that he is french.

Theres a fellow named Andrew Claristidge, a French electronic music producer, who’s “associated” with the “angolan” musician. So folks are mostly drawing a line from the that to the dude in the hood
Yeah I did read this https://consequence.net/2025/11/african-imperial-wizard-white-guy-xiu-xiu/ on it.
Despite claiming to come from Angola, those known to be involved with African Imperial Wizard all hail from Europe. The project is signed to Tesco Records, a German record label, and one of the few names associated with the act is Andrew Claristidge, a French electronic music producer. It’s currently unclear if Claristidge is the “middle-aged white guy” or merely a close collaborator.

My brain just quit working for a minute reading that and then I saw “from France” and it all became internally consistent.
How does somebody like this just… exist… without getting their ass kicked so hard they find a new thing to do.

Nahh, it’s too incomprehensible for me to actively want anything in particular to happen to him I’m just even more confused than usual.
There has to be a reasonable scientific explanation.
Working theory is that he generates a deep pity in the heart of anybody who would confront him.
maybe everyone figures someone else is bound to do it soon enough so no need to get their hands dirty?
These records are actually just made with Ableton samples
Abletonism
Do they mean the preset samples that come with the program?
I think? I must say I’m as confused as you are
this mf using stock samples ??
Lupe literally used the stock sample on Fruity Loops to create his greatest song ever lol
Which song?
Murals. It’s great, check it out
Oh I’m a Lupe fan, I just didn’t know that was a stock FL sample
Somehow most and least surprising news I’ve read in a long while.
How is this not a bit?
Wtf??
I love xiuxiu though
It’s not xiuxiu that is in the robe
fr my heart skipped when i saw Xiu Xiu’s instagram, vaguely recalling that I thought they were a good person with good politics. What a relief to see them calling out this behaviour/person

8 months ago, somebody theorized he wasn’t Angolan, quite reasonably. https://archive.ph/MmLFb
Sequel to Type O Negative’s “Kill All the White People,” which is ruined even as a multi-layered ironic “reclamation” bit just because of what a racist piece of shit Pete Steele was
I don’t have words to describe how this made me feel and no emoji can encompass it
?Yeah that’ll do it actually
