From Hardware to Digital with ZipZapZop | NAS Podcast S6 E18

Welcome back to Season Six of the NAS Podcast! In Episode Eighteen, Origin Crxss and Lisa Haden sit down with Baltimore-based producer ZipZapZop.​ZipZapZop (aka Clark ov Saturn) is the experimental electronic music moniker of Baltimore-based Space Trucking Mogul—a genre-defying veteran producer/DJ and higher-ed techno innovator. After a 15-year hiatus from the scene, ZipZapZop returns with lo-fi, analog-infused beats that blend dubstep, deep dub, trip-hop, breakbeat, industrial, and drum & bass . The 2024 EternalLiftOff LP and 2025 releases like “The Willys” and “Subaqueous Creatures” (BPM 144) highlight his signature spontaneous, textured, and spacey style. Recording in between parenting, baseball coaching, and university administration, ZipZapZop crafts head-nodding, ear-tickling tracks with stream-of-consciousness vocals and rich analog textures. . His collaborations span remix projects—like his techno take on Terrestrial Animal’s “Saṃsāra”—and features on soundtracks such as DEF CON 3. ZipZapZop’s music is available across major platforms—Spotify, Bandcamp, Beatport, Apple Music, SoundCloud—and he engages audiences through live Twitch sets and visual-laced performancesNew Artist Spotlight is a community of indie musicians from around the globe.
