dj lostboi is a creator of worlds, a painter of emotions, and an architect of music that is both blissful and engaging. That last part is the hardest to pull off, yet dj lostboi does it again and again on this release. It’s possible to play this at any time, in any mood, and get lost in a sea of beauty and tranquility. Big up Skee Mask for putting me on to dj lostboi, and in turn this otherworldly release that’s full of so many subtle sounds and intricate details. On repeat. Edward
