Strange things happen at night; stranger still are the things that happen in the nocturnal tropical kingdom of Phoebe Guillemot's latest release for 1080p Collection, as Ramzi. Even if you stripped it of its layered samples of tropical critters, the amount of detail in Houti Kush would still sound like the sonic equivalent of a lush rainforest, teeming with creatures of all forms that lurk between the vines and branches.
Disruption was the theme of the 10 year anniversary of Fuse.
