Ok, lets take it from the top...
Sound system aficionado, radio personality, environmental activist and dope Producer 'Almost Lazy' has been holding it down on Australia’s Sunny coast with his MPC's for over 15 years.
With a bag of tunes under his belt bigger than a Santa sack, he’s finally doing the right thing by the world and starting to share more of ‘em round. Yes we've heard Lazy on the Dubs & the journeys they take you on but this time your in for something different..well different but another journey nonetheless
The current focus is ‘Dusty’s Tapes Volume 1: Consequence of Influence’, a 7 track collection of Vintage tone toonz that collaborate easily between trip hop, downbeat, jungle and hip hop. It’s a dense, beat & bass heavy, sample-laden sound that emerges from the speakers; classically old skool and ridiculously humorous. This is a journey of moral coding, a would be checklist of topics that can be called out in any country today. If this release wasn't just as intriguing as its musical diversity then the subject matter will hook you in for a longtime to come....

Intro track ‘Worst is Over’ sets the mood, showcasing the vocals of Kai from Diplo’s track Revolution. It’s a revolutionary vibe for sure, with Kai’s dreamy delivery dubbed out and interspersed with samples and scratches.Beginning with such a positive topic righteously tips you in the right direction for the rest of this release..

The consequences continue with the bass-heavy punch of ‘Buttered Up’, edging towards jungle as ironic samples from the old skool comment on a narcissistic online world like there is no tomorrow to witness our own behaviour... A Proper piss take from the one of the biggest culprits ..

‘Kick or High’ picks up the pace and by now we know we’re in the hands of a beatmaker with a sense of humor and a cut and paste aesthetic. From the buzz within the music industry to the instruments we make our beats, this track is more like a rack of crack cocaine from a Girl Scout cookie than you know...

Track 4 & its back to smooth and heavily dreamy for ‘Dripping with the Devil’ as sassy horns and social commentary get delivered to the chop shop to give us more to ponder in a God like manner, before ‘Feeling I Like’ moves us deeper into the imagination of 'Almost Lazy' with dubbed out horns, Irie vibrations are sampled as vocal snippets and some more familiar samples from the Beastie Boys to deliver a sound you can taste.

Track six delivers what you’ve come to expect by this stage of the album with a title like ‘Stoned’, as a newsreader raises the important question ‘How are you going to get home?’ - and the answer is provided by the crunch and wobble of closing track ‘Forget’ - You are already here.

With the Consequence of influence as a catalog digging EP, the journey is sound to say the least! A variety of vibes pulling genres into each other with the likes of Lazy's MPC technique. An all Analog release from the vaults, Dusty's Tapes are going to get you up & then down with the vibrations you can trust from the likes of 'Almost Lazy'
