Hello everybody! These tracks were inspired by melody, improvisation and a bunch of other stuff I can't put into words properly. I want to keep my music free as usual, but if you can afford to donate it would help greatly! I'm leaving for my 2014 tour in a couple days and just found out I need to replace my transmission in the ride. I can still survive if I get a few donations though. Check my soundcloud for upcoming shows on the tour and thanks for reading this far into this thing, let's keep it moving forward and fresh. ∞ <3 ∆

Make My Mind A Garden

Caring and Supportive Funky Kong Picks You Up From the Airport

Aeroport 2 Autoroute

*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.
