On the Heights of Despair. 40th Anniversary - Jay McInerney on How Yuppies Revived the City. Perhaps the ultimate symbol of the yuppie era, not mentioned in the book, was the Baby Jogger. In a 2003 valedictory to the yuppie, Tom McGrath lauds “the glistening spoke-wheeled stroller that made its debut in the eighties. So many elements of yuppiness were present all at once in the Baby Jogger: quality time with your child, exercise, and a technologically advanced, ridiculously expensive thing everyone else could admire.” Like hippies, yuppies were baby-boomers rebelling against their parents. But the yuppies weren’t rejecting their parents’ politics so much as their parents’ taste and budgetary constraints.
Yuppies seemed to be apolitical. Urbanity, one of their namesake characteristics, was a reaction to the suburbs, where many of them had grown up. Their epicureanism was presumably a reaction to the canned, frozen, and processed food that most of them had grown up on. For a brief period, coke seemed like the perfect drug for bright, shiny overachievers. Reuben Dowdy - The 9th Floor EP | Reuben Dowdy.

Doplar Music Presents: Reuben Dowdy- 9th Floor about The mysterious persona of Doplar Music and Voices of Black affiliate Reuben Dowdy has led to a collection of instrumentals created on pure impulse and according to Reuben post war "depression". As forward thinking and obscure as Reuben's personality is in real life, the creator of Yarchism himself brings forth a collection of instrumentals marking the beginning of a musical diary told by piercing electronic sounds, funk basslines, and choppy futuristic synth melodies.
Sounds of chip-tune on tracks like "Rude Ass Rudy" as well as vintage drum loops on tracks "Macadamia" and "The world As Is", show his distinctly unique style of production and rather dark "midnight themed" music.

Celph Titled & Buckwild - Nineteen Ninety Now | Chronique. Chronique No Sleep Recordings Sortie : 26 Octobre 2010 Ces dernières années, beaucoup d’albums ont été ratés à cause de producteurs voulant ressusciter le boom-bap des années 90 avec un matériel moderne.
Le résultat a donné dans la majeure partie des cas des instrus corrects, mais trop proprets et manquant cruellement de chaleur. Ce constat, ainsi qu’une nostalgie certaine, a donné une idée à James DL, propriétaire du label No Sleep Recordings : réunir deux de ses amis, le MC Celph Titled et le légendaire beatmaker Buckwild, pour un projet original. Celph poserait sur des instrus de Buck, faits au milieu des années 90 mais jamais utilisés. Le résultat donne Nineteen Ninety Now. Ceux qui n’ont connu Celph qu’à travers ses aventures avec AOTP seront surpris. A l’écoute de Nineteen Ninety Now, on mesure le chemin parcouru par Celph depuis une décennie. Tout est si fluide, si facile sur Nineteen Ninety Now.
