New signing to Slugabed's Activia Benz...Ever off-kilter, *Slugabed’s* sense of humour masks an ability to uncover raw but wildly unpredictable new talent.
The producer’s Activia Benz imprint acts as a hub for such producers, with new signing *Toby Gale* making ears glisten round these parts with his latest slo-mo, fluoro-enhanced synth jammer.
New cut ‘Air Bones’ – billed as their “most twinkly lovely” release yet – has a gorgeous, near 16-Bit sense of nostalgia. Alongside this, though, there’s a sci-fi futurism, a sense of the hyper-real to recall Night Slugs.
All slumped rhythms and choked samples, ‘Air Bones’ continually billows outwards before collapsing under its own glitter-enhanced weight. Slugabed perhaps sums the track up best: “[The EP] has a dreamy feel. It’s a bit like when you ride the horse around at night time on Ocarina of Time and there’s no one around and you feel very blissful.”
