O Is For the OPUS

*Originally released December 19th 2015*

Trip hop never sounded so amazing (yet so dark). Steve and Doug dig deep and chat about The OPUS, the collaboration between The Isle of Weight and Mr. Echoes. Also is music a product, and can you ever create art without making it a commodity? Steve and Doug discuss the Lavachild conundrum.

Music featured this week:
March Of The Termites - March Of The Termites [EP]
In The Oak (Prophet Mix) - Praying Mantis
Skywalker - Blending Density
Serpent's Fruit - Praying Mantis
