Lyrics:
"3's company, Appetite for Destruction tee, Chunky Monkey, Funyuns, I can feel the cat judging me, please, I've seen you eat your puke and drink the toilet water, which completely renders your opinion void you little fucker, poison puffers hit the reef, hissing through their missing teeth, pissy like a minotaur with 6 hours in the middle seat, or middle schoolers protesting the mystery meat and Catcher ban, castaways, walk into the same light as Carol Ann, dagger in his teeth and treat a rapper like a rack of lamb, his allergy is middling, his middle finger's Plastic Man, dag, they want a de-radicalized youth, though it sort of undermines the magic of high noon, my right hand writing a diary of the dodgy, I do the wrong thing when all the right people are watching, it's a medley of defiance and outfoxing, born in a storm's eye alongside Long Island swamp kings, bonk, shoegaze rap, get your blue suede, get used to the goofy get-a-clue face, jump into the goon goose chase, try the kool-aid, try the blue plate it tastes like dooms day, off leash gryphons at the Westminster Kennel Club, as vessels of Beelzebub, bite the hand that belly rub, lug it to belfry, keep the pups alive and healthy, we as hunters treat the summers like a mother ripe for milking, up and feeding Alexander Pardee art into the silk-screen, still here, sleeping with the lights on and quill near, tour van, corpse paint, war moon, make the bass wobble like a 2-man horse suit, dork-proof, type to forge a sword in his dorm room, break fiends, drain 3s from the warp tube, long tooth, short fuse, stormtroopers over John Zorn loops, if you ain't core it ain't for you, trolls, bubbling from the lows, want nothing but to run him for the bulk of what he owns, homie all of this material ain't shit to me, the trinketry, the filigree, the antiquated theories of validity, I never really cared for the cars, the point A to B sound scared when it starts, trash can fire in the middle of his crib, where the coven swap recipes and riddles from the crypt, it's monsoon season, keep the log flumes leanin’, religious paranoia get the Doc Seuss treatment, breaking out the Bronx Zoo, tabletop the Mongoose, gray fade, ain't afraid to knock a few cogs loose, I'm from where it's defense on 3, and anybody with a fucking brain bump Sean P, old boy, might combine the carve with the stalefish, all aboard the mid-life snail's pace tailspin, you were busy authoring the holy grail of mailed-in, I was busy snow, sleet, heavy rain, hail, wind, ready aim fail shit, it's Hail Mary’s everywhere, over all the petty shit, under all the messy hair, I'm untouchable, uncrushable, plus ill, we don't need another hero we just want our cups filled, I'm trivial pursuit cards at the 40/40 buzz kill, Aesop Rock, code name: yo son chill."

Aesop Rock - Untouchable (AR Version)

*12" edition distributed thru Lobster Distribution* Limited-edition tape edition thru FPL, containing two extra tracks*

 Orlando, Florida based label French Press Lounge sees it’s first release thru “Chillax,” a fuzzy slab of early cuts produced by Panhandle native/“label”-head Blair Sound Design, a.k.a. Kyle Lyon. 

	Culled over the naïve bedroom sessions of early university, “Chillax” is akin to blaring an extra hot mixtape from a junky deck in your car on your way to Cape Canaveral to see the last space shuttle leave Earth, all while trying to speed run Kirby’s Dream Land on your sister’s GameBoy Color. 

	Heavy sampling tends to drive this Jeep and give it some character, many popular/unknown gems lifted from various dusty tapes and wax procured from thrift stores and vinyl throughout Northern Florida; cheap drum machines are clumsily slammed against it all and keep everything in a familiarly dance-y zone, while amateur chords and melodies are provided via Guitar Center synths and YouTube ripped Commodore 64 blips and stabs (note the cheeky Nintendo voices as outliers). A fusion of analog discoveries and pixelated memories (melded together by the relentless Florida heat), its an apt soundtrack for long and wistful road trips.

	All in all, “Chillax” is a truly rough and (almost) ready affair, offering an earnest beginning from Blair Sound Design as he looks to capture the pitfalls of responsibility and nostalgia and drive it towards something rewarding and present.

When one googles the word "Wonky," a slew of dictionary definitions arise---crooked, off-center, askew, faulty, not functioning 'correctly'---these terms barely scratch the surface of what Netherlands-based producer @FritsWentink, and his impressive and relatively young label, @Bobby-Donny have to offer the dance community. Wonky is the first word that comes to mind with every release Frits unveils (spanning back to his remarkably prolific 2015), and his newest cut, closing out from Bristol stomper Scissorwork's newest EP, is no different.

BODO005, including two new cuts from @Scissorwork is yet another striking addition to the ever-expanding world of lo-fi shufflers. Today, we premiere the release's final track, a remix of B-side 'Moonlight Boys Choir' from Wentink. Frits takes the glistening roller of an original, and....well, he wonks it right up. Bringing the tempo down marginally, Wentink throws around a hefty, chugging rhythm to kick off his version; a throbbing signal pulses through the mix, reverberating out and in, as pinprick samples and melodies are interwoven atop frequently phasing percussion. As layers upon layers of fuzz periodically lift and are reapplied to the mix, it feels as if the track's multitude of elements are being submerged underwater in real time, unable to lift their heads out for even a brief moment to take a breath.

Wentink's rendition feels brittle, like it needs to be handled with great care to hold its delicate parts together; however, there's an undeniable energy that exudes from the apparently visible seams holding it together. As tones and chords squelch out from behind what feels like a concrete wall, moments of true grit and funk seep through, allowing those paying close enough attention to find meaningful passages from beginning to end. While Frits' take on 'Moonlight Boys Choir' may not serve a peak-time release, it's more than capable of lighting the path to follow, down a weird and winding (and wonky) road.

LYRICS

GIMME THE LIGHT DOPE ROLLED UP TIGHT LIKE SOME UNDER ARMOR
(BONES VERSE)BLADE IN MY COAT I DONT NEED A SCOPE
SHADOW IN THE SNOW YEP THATS BONES
NEVER HAD HOPE NO THATS JUST KNOWN
CAME FROM THE PLACE WHERE THE KIDS GET SMOKED
BITCH YOU COULD TALK JUST DONT DOUBLE CROSS ME
CATCH YOU AFTER 8 LIKE GREAT LAKES CROSSING
BUCK KNIFE ON ME DO A LITTLE CARVING
FOR MY NEXT TRICK YOULL APPEAR IN A COFFIN
RENDER YOU WORTHLESS LIFE ISNT PERFECT
YOU DONT DESERVE IT I FLIP AND INVERT YA
I BE THAT ONE YEAH THE WITCH WHO DONE CURSED YA
PREFER IT PERMANENT FOREVER HURTING
CAST ME A SPELL VANISH BEHIND THE CURTAINS
TAKE ON THE PHYSICAL FORM OF EXERTION 
REMEMBER THE DAY THAT WE ROBBED THE EXURSION
EASY TO BREAK IN WHEN FRIENDS ARE ENCOURAGING 
NEEDED DELIVERANCE GOT US SOME CASH
WOKE UP WITH RATS FELL ASLEEP IN THE TRASH
I SHUT MY EYES AND I TRY TO GO BACK
BUT NOW IM TOO CASHED CAN U RIDDLE ME THAT
SEAN PAYL WAS NEVER THERE TO GIMME THE LIGHT
HE WAS TOO BUSY GETTIN HIS TEMPERATURE RIGHT
