Antipop Consortium Discography Michael Jackson

Warp Records - the legendary IDM label based in England best-known for releasing artists such as, and - decided to sign the group and in turn released Antipop Consortium's The Ends Against the Middle EP in late 2001, followed shortly after in 2002 by a full-length effort, Arrhythmia. Both releases incorporated an obvious IDM influence, particularly from a production standpoint. Blaize moved away from straight hip-hop breakbeats, going instead with glitchy beats and angular rhythms. As a result, Antipop Consortium crossed over from the stateside underground hip-hop scene to the more international IDM scene, which was becoming increasingly interested in rap during the early 2000s. After wrapping up 's North American tour in late July 2002, however, Antipop Consortium disbanded. It was expected that, and M. Sayyid would release solo material by the end of the year, but only actively pursued a solo career, with the other two members banding together instead to form.
