MINT / CLAY by WILL LONG & DJ SPRINKLES

Second in a series of three releases, a 45 minute doublepack of music by Will Long & DJ Sprinkles. Artwork features illustrations by Long-term Comatonse collaborator Tsuji Aiko. Edition of 500 copies.The format and aesthetic remains the same as Vol.1, namely two raw pieces by Will Long, backed with extended overdubs by Sprinkles Again, Will Long, who�s best known for his experimental ambient work as Celer, proves that it ain�t what you�ve got but what you know and can do with it that matters. Under-Currents places sparing samples of T.R.M. Howard - a mentor of Jesse Jackson - amidst a dream sequence of carbonated hi-hats and lingering chords urged by a plump bass drum, whilst Get In & Stay In nods to civil right activist and current Georgia congressional representative John Lewis in a lush haze of crepuscular chromatics and loping swing. On the flipsides, DJ Sprinkles contributes another pair of incredible overdubs, lending Long�s minimal elements a richer, fleshlier feel, whether with additional breakbeats or nimbly lowering the bass and layering up spirited flutes and Rhodes. Suffice to say, they're absolute mind-melters.
