Drift

Woot! Finally available on CD. When it was first released in September ’09, the debut full length album from electronic producer, Low End Theory resident spinner and all-round L.A. beat-scenester Nosaj Thing was an instant sell-out that only the most tuned-in listeners were swift enough to grap up.

Now coming back into circulation in a full scale repress, ‘Drift’ is a record that pits gritty electronics against sultry sun-drenched hip-hop undertones and spaced out beats, and is one no fan of modern dimensions in rhythm should leave out of their collection. One of L.A.'s finest musical modulators, Nosaj Thing has received accolades from XLR8R and Urb, and major airplay support from Pete Tong and Mary Anne Hobbs. His electronic soundscapes and wild beat tectonics play like vignettes that affect the listener's mind as deeply as he hits their soul, akin to DJ Shadow getting nice with Boards of Canada.
