fat cat, tigerbeat6, staalplaat and staubgold, he has also collaborated with keith rowe, fennesz and oren ambarchi. with his latest edition ‘the oansome orbit’ for lawrence english’s room40 imprint,

bizarre internet of bots…but it appears somewhat funny that an old ‘n noisy ypsmael remix of the song 5 by tnps would find its way to befoul a stinky empire at last…
