“I’m enthusiastic about so-called distortion, noise, blur, etc. and began to find energy in the exploration of signal-to-noise ratios and what true clarity of signal means to me.

That smudged area between hip-hop, bass music, turntablism, manipulated vocoders, and abstract electronics is where you’ll comfortably find K.L.O’s Slow Mode album.
