Empty Streets Too Dead For Dreaming

you wake up with a start. everything is too quiet. you get dressed and rush down the stairs out on to your usually busy street. there are no people. you roam the streets for blocks and don’t come across a single soul. something seems very wrong and you feel a strong need to see the light of day.

this 3 turntable odyssey is a classic slice of robot rock. a little bit techno, a little bit house, a little bit electro, a little bit dubstep, a little bit broken. all good and all heavily layered.
