PASOBIONIC is no stranger to the beat-making craft, having refined his production skills for one of Australia's finest hip hop acts TZU, and renegade art-hop punks CURSE OV DIALECT. 'Empty Beats for Lonely Rappers' is an ever-evolving beat collage, at turns twisted nursery rhyme tale then unhurried and downright neighbourly charm. He weaves grainy hypnotic guitar melodies and haunting opera licks in and out of unflappably cosy hip hop beat constructions, consciously avoiding the gloss of so many down-tempo records, focusing instead on qualitycomposition.
