Woahhhh, real word soon (Mint / New - with free DL)
'Tape 1' is a cut & paste collection of original productions & edits by London's Samson A.K that navigates the gamut of outsider sounds whilst somehow managing to hang together.
Apart from the rawness of the music the common thread seems to be its slightly unhinged quality and its irreverent take on the dystopia of modern times through the lens of someone who's escape route was via zines & tapes.
There's plenty of nods to some of the sub cultures that have informed Samson A.K along the way but the sample palette goes way broader and as moody as it is in places, it's certainly not taking itself too seriously.
The genre thing doesn't really work here but if you like skewed electronics / beats and also go for antisocial guitar music this will probably connect.
