I've been working on this record for the better part of 3+ years. Much of the over-all concept was born out of a response to things related to the COVID-19 pandemic, either with themes of 'Escapism' and 'Isolation' (and the comfort that can come with it at times), or wanting to mentally remove myself to a safe space away from reality, as well as binge-watching trash TV with my partner, like 'Love Island', which definitely inspired the album cover and some of the track titles (such as 'Villa Dreamin'). Aesthetically there's also some loose nods to the liminal spaces present in "Hyperbolic Time Chamber" vibes from 'DBZ', the digital world as depicted in the 'Digimon' movie from the 90's, and my love for Pokemon (with 'Rare Candy'). I hope you enjoy this journey from start to finish!

THANK YOU: 

Ableton Live, you've made my musical life/journey possible.  
FAKENUMBERLAND, for hosting this album!
 
@DESKPOPmusic crew (& more specifically @Braz_OS & FLOOR BABA), for being amazing supports/friends through the years, as well as always inspiring me to push myself. 

@ninaeba, who was originally featured on the vocal version of 'Polygon Edge (Bittersweet Bop)'.

Sam Turner (creator of the indie beat rhythm game 'Slip Dream Resonator') for allowing the album version of 'Polygon Edge (Bittersweet Bop)' to premier/ be featured in their game! <3

@wearenova (label), because even though there was an issue with my upload & 'PEPSI® Blood' was sadly unable to appear on their 'OGC 2023' compilation, I'd' have never made the tune without being prompted to for that comp, & it truly belonged on this album!

A FINAL THANK YOU TO ALL MY TALENTED FRIENDS & EVERYONE WHO CONTINUES TO SUPPORT MY WORK & INSPIRE ME EVERY DAY! YOU'RE ALL AMAZING! <3 <3 <3

ゆよゆっぺ - Misery (mahziel Re-Liminal feat. Type-T)

time (collab. oooz)

death trap hailing from Wollongong, meaning something akin to 5 cloud island in the Dharawal language, has graced the Hustledem with 3 tracks for the first Dub Hustle fundraiser EP. 3 tracks of a version excursion nature - pure, unadulterated grime. As Daseplate describes death trap productions essence "sounds like art" & "dubstep factory racing", he's made a super unique sound of unrushed, spacious soundtrack-esque instrumental grime riddims.

3 Mile Height refers to the West Papuans still living & resisting the Indonesian occupation of their ancestral lands, the Star Mountains. The peak of the mountain range measures just under 3 miles (15,617 ft). The use of Arabic characters for "Mile Height" connects the plight of the West Papuan people to those of all First Nations people in particular to the supercharged colonisation of the Levant (Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq & so on)

This EP is to raise funds for the ongoing fight to survive for the West Papuan sovereign solidarity movement.

i've been obsessed with this track since we screened the original Plasma Cutter album for Tiny Waves! been getting into actually playing my guitar more, recently, and learning this song just to practice; figured why not actually try to give back some of the love i feel
