If you're into underground hip-hop, you know SIXTOO, the Canadian maverick. In 2009 the hardware containing all of his backups was stolen and he went quiet ever after, but he's back with a rather unexpected alias, PRISON GARDE, on 100% SILK. And now a single on 〈TRUE ROMANCE〉! An independent hardware house approach that shares common ground with the likes of 〈100% SILK〉 and 〈1080P〉. 80s urban synthesizers with plastic, romantic, intoxicating vocals. The lo-fi yet polyphonic synth work is simply superb. He seems to have relocated to Vancouver these days, so his ties to the Vancouver scene are worth watching too. (Original Japanese text by Saito)
