Dekmantel Mix 492 - evilgiane

About this episode

Brooklyn's evilgiane delivers a kaleidoscopic mix that showcases his unique style ahead of a rare DJ set at Dekmantel '25.

Brooklyn's evilgiane (@aloevine) is one of alt-rap's most respected figures. The sometime beatmaker for stars like Kendrick Lamar and ASAP Rocky is also the founder of the Surf Gang label and party collective whose experimental style collides drill, footwork, trance and trap into something new. He is a master collaborator whose lauded 2024 mixtape #HEAVENSGATE VOL. 1 saw him work with a range of next-gen talents while serving up an array of the sounds that have influenced him in recent years. Whether happy, sad, or something in between, evilgiane always knows how to best express himself in sound. And he proves that once more with an hour selection for our series that lands just ahead of him playing a rare DJ set for us at Dekmantel '25. The mix taps into every nuance of his style, with swirling r&b vocals floating over crisp beats, psychedelic melodies smudged into ice-cold rhythms and distorted low ends landing heavy under mumble rap musings. It's a kaleidoscopic window into evilgiane's mercurial musical world, which is a place you will want to keep on returning to all summer long.
