Another Crystal Culture winner Chesslo Junior describes himself as a ‘purveyor of low-tempo inter-stellar vibrations’. In my humble opinion he’s worth a listen based purely on that description.

Chesslo has had releases on Crystal Culture in the past and recently released a new EP called Long Hum on Kelpe’s Drut Records.
