I'll try to put y'all in touch. It's sometimes hard to know what his headspace is like because...well, the last five years of his life have been marked by tragedy heaped on tragedy. Can't imagine what he's been through. But we used to make music together, and he's a sweetheart who is into the sort of stuff yr into! He's friends with Joel (Golden Donna), if that gives any context.

I would imagine it’s not a big deal. the label founder is an expat from the UK. if in-country sales are a thing, that’d probably be via different channels. is it just that the site is inaccessible, or does the government try to block money transfers?

Technicolor and silly, going in and out of beats and jazzy free-time interludes, sounds like it was made by a keyboardist.

Some gripping theory there, guess I should start paying attention to Ben UFO again. Tbh I had tuned him and his crew out because they were becoming such a dominant force in the scene that I didn't want my tastes to be majorly shaped by this small clique.

Yesss that’s the sauce. It’s very compelling in a not especially dancefloor-friendly way. Some of it is quite catchy. It’s sort of filling the same niche as math rock. Or Linkin Park? Could do without more of that.

Ha yes, I love it in a math rock/minimalist drummer brain way, but is essentially just showing off for other DJs/musicians, I'm sure no one on a dancefloor really cares about the elegance of your shift into a new tempo.

I did the old ‘change the tempo using triplets’ trick on an EP for Cut La Roc about 10 years ago but going from 140bpm breakstep to 93.3bpm hip hop and back. Probably not the best idea to keep people on a dancefloor in retrospect 😂.
