"Fusing together hip-hop beats with fluid synth lines, Filthy Four Track Machine I + II, doesn’t exactly sound like the kind of self-indulgence of a man lost in his basement studio, but on one level that is exactly what springs to mind when thinking about the meticulous creation of these melodic experiments."
-Post-Trash
"The carefully crafted atmosphere of bombastic beats and alluring instrumentals set the stage for a feeling of eeriness and expectation; as if just around the corner awaits another surprise."
-The Grey Estates
Filthy Four Track machine I + II are a collection of tracks from Chicago producer, musician, and song-writer Dusty Patches (Patrick Mitchell). The two releases chronicle his exploration of synthesizers, and specifically, draw heavily on the Teenage Engineering OP-1 and pocket operator synthesizer series.
