Turtle Gets A Shell

At one point I made beats and shared them

Description:
___________
"...simultaneously aqueous and intergalactic, full of gooey synth lines, syncopated rhythms, and fuzzy, dubby sounds...  so many textures melding and warping together, giving the listener a reason to pay attention."
(Molly Beauchemin - Pitchfork)

"Incredibly strange & wonderful... Stunning... Absolutely phenomenal..."
(Mary Anne Hobbs - Radio 1 / Xfm)

"A producer that we think is destined for big things..."
(Goldierocks - NME Radio / Radio 1 / 4Music)

"...collage-like, sounding a little like the production work of Sampha or Frank Ocean's early sketches."
(Dummy Mag)

"...gruff and sweet, heavy and dreamy, spiky and soft-focus..."
(FACT Magazine - The 100 Best Tracks of 2012)

"...pure professionalism, delighting in the slickness of its own textures..."
(Resident Advisor)
