Verse 1 - Open Mike Eagle
Button my uniform for this stupidness
if I wore a suit and a tie, I'd make a noose with it.
Kill me, kill me, kill me dead.
Spill my head juices open.
Choke me, fill me with lead. 
I won't even raise a limb 'cause I been afraid.
I walk like a zombie and I swim like a renegade.
Favorite nightmare is ten degrees centigrade.
I only know five songs and they're all Gucci's "Lemonade"!
I'm at a tender age when compared
to a dead rotten deer, when the shins get ensnared
and it dies in the trap, but the trap gets forgot
?I'm a god in a trap, and it snaps on the spot?
and the party people clap
till the gavel gets dropped
then we're all sentenced to eternal damnation.
All of us.
Especially you.

Hook - Stik
Ain't nothing promised in life but death and taxes.
No time to rest, stepping over the mattress.
best distractions, collecting protecting fractions.
Looking like success. Overdressed in the casket.
Feeling resurrected, blowing breath into ashes.
It's anybody's guess. Can't connect to the masses.
Felt it in my chest. Hope that I left established.
God directs the steps. Some suggest that he's absent.

Bridge-
Destruction is a habit, insatiable apetite,
can't see it how I see it, they only see black and white.

Verse 2 Tron-
 Whenever I contemplate late nights.
Thoughts flowing like condensate drain pipes.
Concentrate day lights.
Across a pattern of glass shards,
?scatter a wreckage a deck of cards?
my reflection don't play right.
Stack the checkers and check backstories
of facts of what they seem
cause you lack more informative means.
Act serious, carved into wax.
We write letters of light and end them with dark periods.

Verse 3 Kon Sci-
Yo it's hard to understand the dark dwellings of the heavens,
so we capture afterlife, demand an answer to the questions
of eternity- the source of a lifespan.
Indelible daydream, the course of my flight plans.
A glance at the ides even evaluate the sinister God,
Seein it forthright, comparable, clairvoyance to mortals
who talk fight, disposable chalk lines,
fatalities stares cold  
into the abyss of any man's soul.

Hook 2 - Stik

Devil's asking price - yet to be satisfied
Soul still intact, yet to be sacrificed
Ain't been living lavish but actually gratified
Hungry as a haitian with holes in my bag of rice
Destruction is a habit, insatiable apetite
How full is the glass, as it passes your sight
Can't see it how I see it, they only see black and white
while my grey matter splices all these fragments of light.
Gone.

*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.
