Felix Lee, the producer formerly known as Lexxi and 5tarb01, Elysia Crampton collaborator and ex-organiser of the culture-clash Endless parties and its namesake NTS radio show, has signed to Planet Mu. The first fruits of his future album is 'KOH', a vocal debut from Felix, co-produced by Whitearmor with additional vocals by Ecco2k.
Felix delivers his cascading verse through spiralling fx, as if in a haze of insomnia, "It's like I'm living inna daze", Ecco2k operating as a dual voice, as the delicate synths seem to shimmer back in response. "I'm the king of hearts I got missing parts"; the lyrics paint an ambigiuous picture of detachment and shapeshifting, dreamt through the lense of a petty thief; "I'm breaking thru your locks, jumper cable knots, run off with the engine block". A taste of what's to come.
