The Manchester outpost brings a new member into the fold.
Modern Love doesn’t release much and the label’s team of artists is admirably focused, so it’s always a treat to see a new name appear from the grey clouds of central Manchester.
This time they’ve added a local; Turinn (aka Alex Lewis) comes from the same generation of Manchester producers as Willow and Croww and has already put together a stunning collection of tracks.
18 1/2 Minute Gaps is Turinn’s debut album, and fuses a melting pot of influences, from Lorenzo Senni’s mutant trance and Kassem Mosse’s hazy house to El-B’s fractured 2-step and of course Willow’s THC-dipped R&B variations.
18 1/2 Minute Gaps will be released on February 10 on 2LP and digital via Modern Love.

01 ‘Ovum’
