Responsible for a killer album as one half of MM / KM with Kassem Mosse, Mix Mup has quietly been proving himself as one of the lofi scene’s most striking producers, and on his first release for Joy O and Will Bankhead’s Hinge Finger the man steps up to the big leagues. 

After The Job is a scintillating EP; the mood decidedly ominous, the sounds gnarled and muddy. The title track’s a monster, running a Tina Turner sample under a freight-train of click-clack percussion and obtrusive bass figures. The track’s structure, too, is deliciously warped, its stop-start opening giving way to crushed kicks and videogame synths that ramp up the lumbering momentum.
