It’s dense, intense and right up my twisted, forward looking dub street.

In 2024 I want new generation twists, oddball blends in this golden age of fusion and electronic experimentation.

Luminescent tones flicker on and off, momentarily lighting this machine made wonderland and the sound of water is never far away

earnest AOR and stoned singer songwriter vocals, vintage synthesizer flourishes, soulful undertones and cosmic country vibes.

Coming on strong at the start to sort out the heads from the chino wearers before gradually mellowing & becoming more mystical as it evolves
