Bendik Giske – Cruising

I'll admit it was the Laurel Halo bit that attracted me more than the Bendik bit. But he seems to have lots going on. Looking at his Discogs he's released three albums in two years. All nicely presented in that seductive / reductive graphic design vibe. Shows off his nipple on his website and he's also been remixed elsewhere by Deathprod and Rezzett (who fucking rule by the way). Clearly keeping good company. So here, Laurel seems to have fun stretching and contorting Giske's saxophone into impossible shapes. The A-side fuses slowed-up dub techno with jazz smarts whilst the flip wigs out and dispenses with the beats altogether. Jettison it into more interesting spaces.
