The debut album from Essex based producer Dusty Ohms. Although seemingly fresh on the scene, this latest guise is the result of over a decade in underground music.

Over the past two years of slowly building the album, the vision was to create something that encapsulates his musical shift over this period, and to nod to the influences that have shaped his production and tastes since the mid 90's.

Accumulated hardware in the studio, layered field recordings and analogue mixing stages played a part to keep the sound gritty and not too polished. Even down to the conscious decision when working with experienced engineer Ali Ash to keep the mastering warm and dynamic in favour of straight loudness. Something he feels is too common in the digital age.

Alongside guest production on two tracks, there's vocal features from Nottingham legend Cappo, and former Rawkus Records signee Silent Knight from NYC. Both artists that Dusty was keen to work with for the project.

The skit 'Dagnarm Dafadilz' features and is dedicated to Big J (R.I.P), an extended interlude is included exclusively on the cassette version. The artwork of which is bespokely printed and packaged. A special thanks to Matt & Oli for their hard work and passion in making this happen.
