Vortex tips the hat to Afro Futurism, and pays homage to influential artists like Ras-G and Flying Lotus. Inspired by the early Flying Lotus albums like 1983 and Los Angeles which embraced a low-fi, ambient and psychedelic take on science fiction themes, anchored by swung drum programming layered with live acoustic percussion.
An ocean on my table is the latest body of work from producer and multi-instrumentalist Captain Earwax (aka Daniel O’Toole) and his sixth full length album.
