South African experimental media collectivenaasare releasing a 4-track EP by innovative producer Andy Islands. On Andy Islands 3, the South African beatmaker offers an intricately-composed electronica sound carried by impressively crisp synth work. The EP's leading track "Parameters" is a hypnotic, xylophonic arrangement featuring a captivatingly steady build-up. "Crashy," another standout from the EP, is a more danceable composition sporting a repetitive, sped-up vocal sample accompanied by rapid rhythmic work. Andy Islands describes his music as "free-range, hand-made, gluten-free, fair-trade, single-origin, 100% organic, community-sourced, bespoke artisan, vegan pop-up music," a fitting description for the producer's refreshingly unconventional sound.
