Sample-happy 20 year old Stephen Farris experiments with different quantizing methods that could very much evolve to rival those of Steven Ellison (Flying Lotus) and very much surpasses the seemingly repetitive recent releases of UK’s Star Slinger.
Tracks “Alphabet Soup”, “Leslie D” and “Radio Drifter” off of the “Alphabet Soup EP” are an exhilarating experience and a breath of fresh air from other sample based releases this year. Layered with as many synths as samples, Stephen Farris gives you a hardy 3 track EP which leaves you wanting more.
