Starboxxx – E02: Addendum 5″ Lathe

Empty Space Collective

This is an awesome little serving of cut-up sound oriented trip hop insanity from mysterious Swedish short player Starboxxx. Primarily focusing on the more musique concrete aspects of sample-based composition, these two modest tracks pack in quite a bit of sustenance. Side one fondues itself in a collection of hard fucking drums and knobby noodlings and side two goes skittish and then spooky warping time and space.

The 5″ lathe format offers two really unique perspectives on this genre of music – sound and time limitations – that I enjoy for some dogme neck-bearding from time to time. Don’t get me wrong though, this is accessible and not cringey, it’s a space warp to slow down time and space for your earholes. Copies still available at the above link!
