TMP221 AUGUSTUS WALKER: SILICON SLAVE

The Australian experimental techno and electronic music artist is actually a New Orleans native and Charity Hospital baby who fled the city as a child in advance of Hurricane Katrina. Suffering bi-continental culture shock and longing for connection, he found succor in the hip hop and DJ community of his adopted homeland. Gus may be a slave to technology, but he’s as free as a bird as he samples koala sex shrieks in the sonic wilderness. The Troubled Men don their gimp masks for this one.
