DJAO: Still waters run deep.
  • Patti Miller/Dropping Gems
  • DJAO: In the zone.

Online zine FACT is streaming the self-titled debut album by Seattle's DJAO (aka Alex Osuch), accompanied by an interview with the young, gifted producer/vocalist by Chris Kelly.

I discussed this full-length in an earlier Slog post and will be reviewing it properly in a future issue of The Stranger. DJAO is a beautiful, chill electronic work, both ethereal and earthy, informed by ambient, bass music, R&B, jazz, and footwork, and inflated with Cascadia soulfulness.

Portland label Dropping Gems releases DJAO Oct. 28 digitally and on cassette. Listen to it here.
