The initial concept behind the artwork was sparked by the daily walks I take. I would walk past a pothole that, to me, resembled some sort of shade that had been imprinted/sunken into concrete. This prompted me to make the corresponding music/soundtrack for the apparition I dubbed the "Asphaltomen".
Thanks to my 2 collaborators on this tape, cat soup & 445.ceo, for trusting me with their music and for letting me release these tracks. Endless appreciation and love to my brother DJH for his finalising touches on this project.
Thank you all for your patience, I hope you enjoy the hnrk™️ music. Thank you all for listening, always. More hnrk music later this year. SESH
