    Hey Chicken-Heads Check out Theo, He has performed on my show a grip 'O times, but here is our first kitchen session.

    Ok I have gotten into debates, sometimes heated (not on my side of course) about this artist. That is a fucking good sign he is changing an old game in a way that is similar to… I dare say, MJ. But I’m not comparing them - but they both have a secret code in their steez that is as unique as a finger print. Just listen to him smash on a vast array of sonic, bass, treble, tempos, frequencies, beats, mainly provided by the magnificent Machinedrum. Then watch him live. FUCK FUCK FUCK. Now watch him mature into what’s to come. Headz up whole world.
