Time Wharp - BLK EP

Time Wharp
BLK EP
Astro Nautico - 2012


Boston resident Time Wharp does it once again with this release. As always he lays down impeccably structured, psychedelically scattered beats full of saccharine synth harmonies and ambient textures. This effort takes a calmer, more restrained form, but you can undoubtably feel that coming storm of brooding boogie-house energy quietly building beneath the surface. His four original tracks are here complimented by quality remixes by his stellar Astro Nautico peers RAJA, Obey City and The Range.

Watch this guy - cream like this always rises to the top.
