Created for the Aqui Uzumaki art exhibition in Tokyo, this latest track from Phofo is also one of the few songs the DJ-cum-bear has released since the demoes for Adversary in 2000, shelved in part because most of the samples were stolen outright. Between remixes for My Favorite and some work for the aforementioned MC Paul Barman, Phofo has kept busy. Slowly but surely, a new album is forming, but it doesn’t sound like it’ll be out anytime soon.

It’s a crying shame, because Phofo’s slick blend of loungecore and hip-hop miscellany is impossibly cool, and another year without a Phofo album is another year that was slightly darker and duller than it could’ve been. And we totally could’ve used some brightening up this year.
