ill.Gates & sfam
SFAM have been on my radar since they blew my mind opening for me in LA back in the day and they haven’t stopped dropping that ooey, gooey Louisiana experimental bass sound ever since. Like me, SFAM have collabs with Boogie T and then SFAM also have tracks out with TYNAN, UZ, ATLiens, Buku, Mersiv, and TVBOO.
As for my own set, well… Shambhala is right around the corner so you KNOW I’ve been cooking. You can help test new versions of the unreleased album with Mr Bill, fresh Boogie T collabs, a new techno-influenced modular style I’ve been working on, and a GRIP of other unreleased tracks. There’s also a new (non-AI) video style I’ve been working on so look out for those in the visuals.
