WLIB AM: King of the Wigflip

A twenty-four track collage of dusty soul loops and jagged drum programming. It plays like a late-night radio broadcast from a parallel, funkier dimension.

September 30, 2008 · Rapster Records

A restless, soulful urban collage that feels both nostalgic and experimental.

Moments Worth Listening For

The jarring transition into the heavy brass loop on Blow the Horns on 'em that feels like a physical wake-up call.

The way the drums on The Ox (805) feel slightly behind the beat, creating a hypnotic and lazy head-nod tension.

The sudden atmospheric shift during the Smoke Break interlude where the music dissolves into pure texture.
