Bicycles & Tricycles

The Orb

A murky blend of 21st-century trip-hop and classic stoner dub. Dense with vocoders, deep bass, and the feeling of a late-night city seen through a thick haze.

A playful yet murky exploration of urban dub and electronic drift.

Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden shift into MC Soom-T's rapid-fire delivery on Orb Is, cutting through the ambient fog with unexpected grit.
The way the sub-bass on Hell's Kitchen seems to swallow the entire frequency range before the beat re-establishes itself.
The haunting, stretched-out vocal samples in Tower Twenty Three that feel like a transmission from a ghost satellite.
