Bleep

Footwork producer and Teklife crew member DJ Paypal follows up a 30-track album of bootleg Drake edits and the Buy Now EP for LuckyMe with Sold Out, a mini-album for Flying Lotus’s Brainfeeder label. Sold Out hits hard and hits fast, setting jazz, funk, and Phillip Glass-esque minimalism to his breakneck 160bpm tempos. You get a sense of DJ Paypal’s barmy sense of humour on tracks like ‘Awakening’, but there are moments where he channels a darker energy like on ‘Slim Trak’. The album also features collaborations with artists from Chicago (DJ Earl and DJ Taye), Serbia (Teklife affiliates Feloneezy and Jackie Dagger), and France (Tielsie) amongst others.
