Clutchy Hopkins - The Interview That Never Happened
Questions by Djouls & Nicolas Ragonneau for Paris DJs, early 2012

Who is Clutchy Hopkins? The question still remains unanswered. We met with Shawn Lee in Paris this month, and asked him about his tweet saying he was representing Clutchy Hopkins for booking purposes… The man smiled and replied that he had no idea what we were talking about. Nearly two years ago, we published an exclusive mix of Clutchy Hopkins productions, Clutchy Hopkins' Psychedelic Hip Hop, Funk & Jazz, and since then we've been discussing with different people from his organization about inviting him for a guest mix and an exclusive interview. We wanted to know more about his mysterious vintage funk beats, dirty drums, fuzzed bass, and Middle-eastern flutes, warmed with tape hiss. We know he has been working on this mix for Paris DJs… We know Clutchy is in the studio right now, collaborating with an amazingly talented guest artist. The new tracks are unlike anything we've heard before. As always, details are coming soon… Meanwhile, The Life of Eugene Harrington has been released, it's "an LP featuring Clutchy and another mysterious musician" (listen/buy here). Now months have passed and we never got the replies to our interview questions nor the mix, so we decided to publish our questions anyway, hoping you'll have as much fun reading them as we had writing them.

(Interview by Nicolas Ragonneau, for Paris DJs - May 2012)

Wade Schuman is Hazmat Modine's frontman and founder, an incredible 8-piece and two-harmonicas blues band from NYC that sounds truly like no other. These adventurous musicians use unusual instruments and pour countless musical traditions, sounds and influences in their musical recipe (African, Caribbean, Klezmer, Gypsy, New Orleans... ). For a long time since their 1998 beginning, Hazmat Modine has been NYC's best kept secret until they finally release their first LP Bahamut in 2006 (Jaro Medien/Barbès Records). Last year they came back with Cicada (Jaro Medien/Barbès Records), a new masterpiece praised in many reviews worldwide and finally awarded 'best 2011 blues album' by the prestigious Charles Cros Academy in France. Wade Schuman is not only a formidable multi-instrumentalist, he's also a fine arts teacher, a painter, an amateur zoologist, a professional hedonist and a very special Nature sound engineer. All these qualities makes him a delightful and obvious candidate for an in-depth exclusive interview. Hazmat Modine come back for an european tour this spring and summer (starting in Paris on May 24th) with new songs. To celebrate this, Wade has just cooked a great blues and brass mix. It's available here.
