Three Shits From Digital Natives

After almost ten years as a label, releasing 149 cosmic specimens, Jeffry Astin’s Housecraft label has delivered it’s 150th stuffed-crust slice. A three hour (!!!) beast of a triple cassette by Astin’s seductive-as-sin-sample project Digital Natives. The triple serving is dished out on clear shell tapes packaged in those extra extra EXTRA tall norelco cases, which are, without a doubt, so fucking baller it hurts your guts. Each cassette is etched with hash marks so you know what’s what.

The triple C60, titled “Three Shits To The Wind” (like “three sheets to the wind”, but with poop), is limited to 50 copies and has been ambiguously described as such:

“The Vimy flies again. She backs in among them. Wrought in silver and now exercised exclusively in ceremonies, getting a grip. Inside, as I arrive a patented fly-wheel and one-way clutch closed test track. It’s a tad slower than a Porsche but at dinnertime he sits on the floor with his family and eats rice and meat with his fingers. It’s a race beside the race.”

I slung the above into Google Translate, going from zoner to English, but didn’t get very far. Just be prepared to get bathed in a foam of funk/pop/soul snippets looped, gooped, and glazed for 180 minutes (plus flip/tape change time). I”m aware of zero sound samples for this mug online, so here’s a taste of his C42 on Space Slave.

Word on the streets is that this tape is exclusively available from Tomentosa at a $21 price point. Click here to grab while supplies last.
