Expressway Yo-Yo Dieting (sometimes alternatively presented as DJ Yo-Yo Dieting) is a musical project by Pat Maher, also known as Indignant Senility.[1]
Expressway Yo-Yo Dieting presents psychedelic slowed-down music heavily influenced by the genre of slowed hip hop music called Chopped and Screwed. The project's musical style is noted for its genre-defying propensity, especially for its mashing together of ambient, noise and hip hop.[2] The pieces are born from remixing rap and other songs, but with such extreme tempo shifts that "[all] that is left is a glacial beat being buffeted by impossibly slow, deep, and incomprehensible vocals that bubble, shudder, stretch, crackle, and quaver nightmarishly.".[3] The music has been described as going beyond the remix to becoming deconstructions of music.[4] Maher said that most of his source material was 90s rap tapes.[5]
