Drae da Skimask makes his affiliation to Astral Black concrete with a full-length cassette for the label.

Titled as a reference to the year of his birth (and thank god – we don’t need any more Back to ’95 shtick, ever), Drae’s tape draws heavily from the South’s chopped and screwed legacy with pitched-down vocals and syrup-thick drums, but there’s also plenty of shimmery leads that should find fans in Soulection quarters. Listen to the full stream below – you can still get cassettes on Bleep, or buy the digital direct from Astral’s Bandcamp.

Drae will launch the album at London’s Alibi on August 1, with a line-up curated by Drae. More details here.
