All lovers of nice Downtempo, Indietronics and Leftfield HipHop inna Anticon.-style watch out as the Roseland-based producer Abel Okugawa recently released his new album “Dance Like A Speaker” via Avon Sound Recordings - a fifteen track longplayer jam-packed with foggy HipHop beats, dense, score’esque atmospheric instrumental tunes and a few vocal joints that’ll be highly appreciated for sure.
