Blending dub, trip-hop, blues, and downtempo, The Fuzzy Lounge Sessions is the culmination of four years of studio work (2020–2024) at Sandman Theory’s Seattle studio, the Fuzzy Lounge. The album features collaborations with local musicians and fuses live instrumentation, analog synth textures, and vintage dub techniques—a heartfelt homage to the golden era of late-’90s electronica.

Self Control (Instrumental)

Afro-Latin beats collide with live bass and synthesizers in this downtempo journey. The groove oozes deep, funky vibes reminiscent of 90s nu-jazz and electronica. 

Crafted at Seattle's Fuzzy Lounge studio, the track features Nick Mardon on bass guitar and Lionel Reinert on keys, with Sandman Theory at the helm, laying down synths, keys, and dub-inspired production.
