Tim Saccenti, 2016
Danny Brown is re-visiting his cult classic Atrocity Exhibition 10 years after its release.
The 2016 record from the 2012 FADER cover star , was Brown's first album released on Warp Records and had features from Kendrick Lamar, Earl Sweatshirt, Ab-Soul, B-Real, and Kelela.
With production from Evian Christ, Petite Noir, Black Milk, the Alchemist, and long-time collaborator Paul White, the record found Brown delving deeper into experimental electronic sounds and influences — a genre he would continue to explore in his following albums. His latest record, 2025's Stardust, saw Brown working with rising artists from the electronic and alt-pop underground such as The FADER's summer 2026 cover star underscores, Frost Children, and The FADER's 2023 Gen F artist Jane Remover. The FADER's David Renshaw discussed Brown's legacy and his enduring relationship with the electronic underground in a 2025 article.
To celebrate a decade of Atrocity Exhibition, Brown will play four shows — in New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Austin — where he will perform the record front-to-back for the first time. He will also release a special 10th anniversary edition of the record on November 13 with original sleeve design by Ed Davis (formerly of Brain Dead) and a CD re-release packaged with reflective material. Its CD version also incudes a bonus disc with previously unreleased instrumental versions of all the tracks on the album. In addition, Atrocity Exhibition's instrumentals will be made available on streaming.
