Airhead: Wait 10″

Debut single for Airhead on the esteemed R&S label. The London-based producer’s beats have been drawing comparisons to early James Blake and with one listen to “Wait” it is easy to see why. The subtle textures, abstract programming, and oddly chopped-but-still-catchy vocals seem to be a winning formula that only a select few producers can pull off with class and style. Airhead is definitely one of them. Also includes “South Congress” on the flip for more lush and delicate post-dubstep flavor.
