A hidden gem! A collection of Antipodean DIY electronica experiments that packs digidub, sample collages, and downtempo into a black box. The second release in the 〈TONAL OCEANS〉 catalog, which specializes in unearthing Australian electronic music by artists such as ATONE. A compilation of six tracks carefully selected from the vast catalog of musical experimentalist NICOLE SKELTYS, who has been active since the ’90s. Dub-based yet defying genre classification, this is “Stoner Classix Selected.”
Track List
This mini-album—a compilation of self-released 12-inch records, a long-lost 7-inch lacquer disc, and a vast collection of tracks released exclusively on CD under the name ARTIFICIAL, all painstakingly unearthed and meticulously curated—has finally arrived after we tracked down some remaining stock! Featuring conversational samples embedded in the intro and breaks, synth work and acid lines that explore a mood that’s both soothing and eerie. A free-form blend of lo-fi left-field sounds ranging from dub to techno, downtempo, and sound art. (Original Japanese text by Akie)
