Lixo feat Trim 'Writer’s Block/Relearned' (GETME!)
GETME! label boss Lixo cuts a super-interesting figure here. Enlisting Trim on ‘Writer’s Block’ is a bold move, but one that pays off as he navigates through a network of warm, tribal bass sounds and fluttery, off-beat melodies that feel both complex but strangely accessible. B-side ‘Relearn’ is equally deft even without Trim, too, as we’re given the space to admire what an accomplished producer Lixo now is.
