Encounters

Sofa Surfers

Deep, murky trip-hop and dub-heavy grooves that feel like a noir film set in a rain-slicked Vienna. Darkly cinematic and rhythmically hypnotic.

Find on Amazon

It's the soundtrack to a spy movie where nobody actually wins.

A heavy, rain-slicked urban anxiety that feels both cinematic and deeply personal.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The heavy, distorted bass line of 21st Century Army that feels like a slow-motion march through a concrete wasteland.
The eerie, metallic percussion and haunting vocal loops that close out Gamelan.
The way the bluesy guitar licks on River Blues dissolve into a wash of dub delay.
