Dear peoples of the forests,
 after years of somehow trolling the music scene 
the gods of the winds castigated me to listen solely to the ultimate and only troll music 
but also elf and orc music
and birds and trees and mountains and caves..
..the grotto sound of Dungeon Synth...After infinite hours listening to decomposing moldy tapes that i found in a metal box during a hike on the mountains near Glarus,
i compiled a series of limited edition mixtapes that Ill be releasing in collaboration with fromheretillnow.

Since last winter solstice im not able to listen to anything else, 
everything sounds frantic and overexcited and chaotic and anxious compared to that misterious box..
in a world spiraling down into an ecological cataclysm 
i turned my head towards melancology
i found refuge in the themes of tranquil and often overpowering nature found in dungeon synth. Synthesizers mimic the singing of birds, or the howling of winds and oceans
epic pads and melancholic sequences layered over distant growls of creatures surely not human..
humans rarely appear in the dungeon dimension anyway this is not escapism, we are set for extinction.
it just sounds better than a reggeaton apocalypse
i just like to imagine after that
a silent world.....totally green, will come.

Yours,

DJ Lumpex
