It's not really hip-hop and it's not really that depressing, monotone junk that is called trip-hop either. It's more like hip-hop beats that are falling over their out-of-fashion baggy jeans as they attempt to booty grind to their parents' warped Bootsy Collins vinyl collection. Perfectly laid back spaced jams that make Spliffy Sunday the best day of the week and losing twelve days wandering around a bright coloured forest a pleasant lil' adventure.

Spit Shine features on the latest New Weird Australia compilation, which you can download from here. You can also wrap your ears around loads more brilliant beats by Mr Void over at his MySpacer.
