I was about to make a thread about this. Great EP, likely to end up being one of my favorite projects of the year.

Definetly needs more attention.

Production is insane on this.

yo holy s*** this is flames video and track. first half of already amazing like dark ambient spoken word then that switch-up

listening to the new EP right now damn feel dumb for forgetting to give it a spin

first EP also fire damn. this guy is 3/3 Chungking Express samples, Beckett and La Haine named as influence, mans got impeccable taste too

In, thanks @op

Loving this kinda a trite comparison but some of the recoding / prod reminds me of death grips mixed with slowthai & clipping

In

Wtfff

This video is madness

So goood

Need you to list some of your fav projects in a thread or here you got great taste bro

Appreciate it bro

I've been catching up on some things I missed this year, but I'll try to do something like that

Fun fact: He apparently worked with Ye on one of the DONDA listening parties

"He connected with Space Afrika on their critically lauded Honest Labour album, released two EPs, and collaborated with visual artist Richie Culver on the soundtrack to DID U C***YET / I’M NOT GONNA CUM. As a choreographer, he’s worked with Mykki Blanco and Flohio, and was even tapped to assist Kanye West on the DONDA listening events in Chicago."

wow fr legend in the making

bruhhh just caught an NTS set by Space Afrika, just the most beautifully curated ambient. Finally checking out their music with this vid now and wowww

@marcusg noticed I forgot to tag you check this s*** out

I feel dumb for just going back to the hostel after the Microphones set at LGW, they still played there only learned about them when Loraine James called Honest Labor her aoty like a week later

Yeeeeeah this is intriguing af ima check out that EP thanks for the tag

Very interesting thanks for putting us on

Blackhaine feature on debut mixtape by fellow Manchester future goat Iceboy Violet... was a huge fan of their features on the last Loraine James and aya albums and they delivered so damn hard with this... Straight up masterpiece of deconstructed club UK rap, can see this going down a highlight of the year for me.

I might have to make this a thread dedicated to this whole deconstructed rap sound brewing in the UK, so fkn exciting
