JOY ORBISON – STILL SLIPPING VOL. 1
2021-08-16At this point, Joy O is a national treasure and should be recognised for his service to electronic music. From the heady post-dubstep breakout HYPH MNGO to the present day, every new release feels like a micro-cultural event – simultaneously reinterpreting contemporary music movements in his inimitable style, while influencing the output of countless producers for the year to follow.
Even so, Still Slippin’ Vol. 1 is a true landmark for Joy O. It’s his first full length release, which is remarkable for someone who has retained an untouchable status for over a decade. Presented as a mixtape rather than an album in the traditional sense, it touches on many styles and BPMs while feeling purely UK, and purely Joy O, throughout.
