When my fellow FKL editor Raj, aka No. 4, aka Static Itch decides to do a mix, I never know what to expect, but I always know that it will challenge my sense of musical programming, and inspire with the coscienceness of his track selection. “Buried Beneath the Plastic Sheen” plays like a mixtape and has the feel of a soundtrack… And in the same way, it will imbue whatever you’re doing while listening to it with that sense of surreal intensity that only a great soundtrack can.
It starts off meditative with Jim Johnston’s interpretation of The Undertaker, winds through the mind with Massive Attack and Bong Ra, and suddenly you realize it’s too late as the aural trip nectar drives through your senses with Marco Beltrami vs. Marilyn Manson! The pathway of the programming is cutting and hypnotic, all at once sharp and sensual, as it goes from the blazing brain-bleeding bass of IDM to down-tempo groovin’.
Take a listen and enjoy the ride!

Inspired by Howard Dully’s quest to discover the human causes behind his lobotomy as a child, this mix is an ambient / electronic / dub / art-rock retelling of the fear, catharsis, and terror.
Or - I’m talking out of my ass and I just want to fuck with you. You decide.
A fine blend with various audio sources, simple mathematical effects, and logical (?) cuts - be prepared for a headscrew thats gonna leave you bleeding from your eyes.
Dub-freaks would enjoy the mashup of Richie Spice with DarkFarmer complemented by Howard’s confrontation with his father.

Preamble: To everyone who thinks that DJ’s spin only fengtau music. You can download this. I also recommend reading - you might learn something.
A delicate blend of heartfelt progressive and indie sounds, found and field recordings as well as overlaid commentaries from various enlightened sources. A meditative compilation for exausted ears and quiet minds.
No effects were used during the production of this mixtape to retain the integrity of the music / sounds from the artists presented.
Dedicated to the elderly woman at the ground floor elevator shaft staring at cars drive by. I’m sorry no-one else cares.
