Andrew Gideon Thomson, currently known to the sonic world as AyGeeTee (formerly AGT), has been under the Friendship Bracelet's super-radar for what seems like at least a year. (probably more like eight to ten months, so about five years' internet time). The royal We dug the Londoner's blending of hardboiled glitch-beat and wavering ambient passages, enough so for .us to "induct" him into the Friendship Club with an FBFC mix, the tenth such mix to date.
Dude's also responsible for fuckin up my header.
AyGeeTee has his first couple releases out soon, a c40 on Sweat Lodge Guru due next month and an EP for AMDISCS sometime in the near future. No Fear In Pop posted an extract from the B-side, "Screaming Glow," and down below you can download an extract from the A-side, "Talking Burd." (extract meaning a bunch of pieces surgically removed from each long track, mixed together into a mini-summary/mini-Frankenstein).
Also stream "Thread," from the as-yet-untitled AMDISCS EP.
ALSO dude remixed The XX late last year ["so I took out every element of the original track (except one 1/2 second sample warped & pitched up & down) & it sounded much betta than before, so I added guitars and more synths n shit &... here we are"]
As for the mix, Andrew outdid himself on this one, producing two "sides" of a single digital mixtape. Bits and pieces of songs woven in and out of grooves from others, making for a wild 85-minute ride. For real though - he crammed a whole bunch of shit in there. Check the tracklists, though sometimes it's hard to tell when one piece ends and the next begins. It'll be a fine Monday treat for all the office team out there.
