These newly remixed and re-worked versions presented on Flip Tape draw from a variety of influences and styles from laid-back ambient production (Fields of Hope), haunting Lo-Fi (Awakening) through to high-octane drum and bass (Everything Test) adding fresh perspectives to already enjoyable tracks.
Flip Tape is a fantastic re-working of Conscious Route & True Notes critically acclaimed 'Lost Routes' album - adding further diversity to his sound and continuously expanding body of work which he looks to further add to throughout 2021 and beyond…
