STREAM/BUY: https://hypeddit.com/halfblood

HALF BLOOD was never the album I expected to write. I was in the process of writing the album I thought others wanted from me, but nothing felt genuine. So this kinda started out as a sidequest - my attempt at taking established tropes of UK Bass music and spray painting them with my signature colorful sound design. But it became so much more. This record became a catalyst for rediscovering the roots of the genre. An ode to my heritage, both as a dual citizen of the US and UK and an electronic music fan at large. My bridge between the sounds and aesthetics of New York and London. Most importantly, a diary documenting the mistakes and growing pains of learning to become my most authentic self. I believe this to be my maturest body of work yet and I’m ecstatic to share this with the world.
