| “Turntable Solos”, dj sniffed (Discrepant, 2025) Cover art: “Return The Eye” (2020), Tekkhean Lee. |
Initial impressions: vinyl scratches in, insects, kids going aah, muffled voices, a drone, static/white noise, a thunderstorm, machine sounds…a spliffed-out beat, jazz drum breaks, dissonant guitar licks, more scratching exploding into cut-up shouts…field recordings, devices feedback…collagist, beat-juggling, scratching and glitching— restless and fidgety. Turntable Solos shifts through a wide palette of sounds, textures and tempos. It is an intriguing document compiling live recordings made in the second half of 2024. Lasting a little over thirty minutes, these improvisational performances are rendered as a single continuous piece for its digital release and split over two sides on vinyl. Read at Cyclic Defrost.
