Damn Fine AD+UX

New goodness from Shlohmo, a 21yr old producer from LA, just dropped about 40 minutes ago via Soundcloud.  He works his magic on a Drake track, transforming it from humdrum hiphop into a deep ambient dub tour de force that borrows a few cues from Burial, albeit a bit more slowed down and chilled out.  

To wit, he has a knack for taking played-out pop and turning it into something altogether different - crafting layers on layers of body and character - something with more soul that even a pop grumbler like myself can appreciate.  To Shlohmo’s credit, he’s right when he makes the point that you should “try and appreciate shit even if u have to forget the context sometimes. ” — We Did It Collective

Props in a major way.  Expecting more great things from Shlohmo.  When he hits his prime, he is going to be motherfucking unstoppable. I’m not sure he’s quite there yet, but he is most certainly well on his way.
