Scroll Till You Die (Wal) [CD]

The perfect soundtrack to your next doomscrolling session. A new double disc anthology set from Rephlex alumni Bogdan Raczynski, which pairs his critically-acclaimed 2024 album, You're Only Young Once But You Can Stupid Forever, with the 2025 companion set (previously only available digitally), Slow Down Stupid.The main album is a collection of warmly melodic electronic sketches, with tracks alternately drifting beatless on the breeze or underpinned by lo-fi drums, sometimes barely held together with a delicate construction of odd synth patches and ping-pong percussion. Mojo called it "a satisfyingly lo-fi, fragile creation, it's a nuanced, multi-layered insight into Raczynski's increasingly becalmed world." whilst DJ Mag said "By stripping the music to the barest sketetal parts, he discovers a more subtle, yet equally confounding beauty. It's one worth taking from start to finish."On the second disc, the producer stretches out the material into even more languid sonic pastures, a cheeky deconstruction of both the 'slowed and reverbed' phenomenon, and the endless relax/yoga/meditation app/playlist hustle beaming from one dystopian tech platform to the next.
