Jamie Slater debuts his Winkles alias with The Unavoidable EP — the inaugural release on A Sky Full Of Numbers, pressed on bioplastic 180g vinyl and arriving with the kind of considered, unhurried intention that the format choice alone signals. Born from lucid dreams and sessions split between Bristol and the Freerotation festival yurt, the four tracks carry the atmospheric residue of both environments — intimate and exploratory, rooted in experience rather than abstraction.

The A-side unfolds across two extended pieces. The Unavoidable Consequence Of Familiarity opens at length, experimental techno and ambient electronics dissolving into one another across nearly nine minutes of shifting, dreamlike texture. Semi Stretches follows with a similarly expansive approach, the groove emerging slowly from a bed of layered sound. The flip presents Multicoloured Plasticine Universe in two forms — Erik Luebs' remix reframing the material with his own precision before the original closes the record, the source version arriving last and feeling, in context, like the most personal and unguarded moment of the four. A debut that announces both an artist and a label with genuine confidence.
