Another World Is Possible - Worldpeace69*

Welcome once again to the trans-Pacific bazaar of sonic wonders, curated by Poolside Nightmare and NC Ives under the banner of A.W.I.P. Their second album "Worldpeace69*" is a cabinet of cross-genre curios that defy labeling, following in the footsteps of their previous LP. I tried to describe this stream of sounds - ranging from obscure jazz, game-score ambient, hip-hop beatmaking and vaporpop - only to find myself further and further engulfed in blissful aural confusion. "If I Had You" is just perfect, consider this track the litmus test for the entire album.

A.W.I.P. - Chasing Down Demons

Imagine Dean Blunt trying his hand at vaporwave, AFTA-1 experimenting with dark jazz, or Oneohtrix Point Never exploring hypnagogic beatmaking. "Chasing Down Demons" is all that and more. This trans-Pacific collaboration between Oakland's Trae Casey (aka Poolside Nightmare) and Melbourne's Nicholas Ives (aka NC Ives) finds the duo questioning the rigid boundaries of music theory while injecting a healthy dose of fluidity into their productions. Roll the genre dice and see where they land. An eclectic release for eclectic times. Out now on limited edition cassettes via San Diego label Addendum.
