JOE HOWE - "Debossed" LPJoe Howe Debossed LP (Acid Waxa, 2024) Following on from his previous two KPM esque library music releases for the label (Plastic Thought & Wyped Out) Debossed sees Howe ramping up his sound into more rhythmically expansive weirdo club music territory, taking in everything from footwork, drum & bass, electro, juke and breakcore. The Japanese jazz inspired melodic phrasing is as present as ever, which is paired with affectionate nods to Dreamcast

It is also his first collection of songs set for release since 2014's 'Raven Town Witch' LP for SOPHOMORE LOUNGE
