about

Originally released on OG hurtdeer supporter and massively underrated legacy label Broken Bubble -which you can still get there, and a bunch of other extremely fine releases from other artists- "I am Decay" was an important part of my "dubfunk" era, ie, when I thought I was reinventing dubstep by using slow funky breaks in it. Now everyone does it. And better too! Oh well.

go check out broken bubble by the way! It's still great! brokenbubble.bandcamp.com

The theme of this album was authors I was crazy into at the time. In retrospect, the list- William S. Burroughs, Kurt Vonnegut, Phillip K. Dick and Charles Bukowski- now seems like baby's first alt-lit selection. But oh well. Each one of them samples the author's, Burroughs and Dick reading their own work, Vonnegut talking about being creative, and Tom Waits reading Bukowski's beautiful poem "Laughing Heart", and each one has a different vibe. "Welcome Heart" might be one of my favourite things I've ever done, despite the mixing quality not being near what I'm capable of now. I don't think I can describe it as any genre I know and I'm not at all sure if I could ever replicate the 7/4 wooden breakcore-techno vibe if I tried? I was smoking a lot of weed then. Not entirely sure what I was doing but I was doing good.

Anyway, enjoy!

Why can't I stop listening to this sh*t? Maybe because I recognized the songs being sampled. The crazy mash-ups? Because I have no attention span? Or it's just f*cking wacky. I don't know, but I love it. mspinksosu
