Word is it’s the last ever Sim Simma in that space, they’re hooking up with the All City gang on it. More on Tenderlonious and the 22a camp here.

Fresh goods from the All City camp, who are keeping up a relentless release schedule.  This time it’s a Berlin based artist that knocked out a cerebral set of IDM, grime and whatever you can jam in between (including Venetian Snares…) in the Turk’s Head several months ago.
