Mission #5 from Challenger Deep: Stillhead steps forward, brightening the darkest of places. The descent begins with an approaching menace from the deep, deftly handled by the helmsman. The Scottish mastermind then delves further still, delivering a forward thinking piece of electronic dub music, forged in the ceaseless depth of the abyss.

Flynn Ryder announces himself to the world, launching into the chasm and resurfacing with two crucial cuts. Drawing on both the pressure of the deep and distant memories of the Sun, Flynn’s expertly crafted debut 12” is an essential addition to the Challenger Deep arsenal.
