"While working an internship at Dublab.com, 19-year-old LA native Shlohmo made a free online release of his original Shlohmoshun EP. Being part of the Dublab community, it didn't take long for the EP to reach the ears of Friends Of Friends, who immediately approached him to combine new and old tracks with an assortment of remixes to create Shlomoshun Deluxe... Shlomoshun Redux includes all of the tracks on Deluxe, plus the digital-only Camping EP. First released digitally at the start of this year, the eight original tracks and four remixes have generated huge interest among the low-end beat-heads and abstract boom-bap-strumentalists searching for their latest fix of post-modern deconstructivist thunk, with the young producer finding his sounds aligned with luminaries like FlyLo, Nosaj Thing, Ras G and Samiyam, and lauded for a diversity of sound from the overloaded synths usually sported by Starkey and Joker, to the 8-bit melodies of Disrupt or Ikonika. With beat and soundscape arrangements that leave the listener hypnotized, the songs breathe life from the organic and electronic worlds colliding. Fan favorites 'Hot Boxing The Cockpit' and 'Antigravity' place him right amongst the Brainfeeder-centred neubass elite, while a track like '7am' oozes Dilla-esque swagger, all the while remaining effortlessly cinematic."

"From the first glimpses of Henry Laufer's work as Shlohmo, it was clear that the LA native and visual artist turned self-taught musician was onto something. With an effortless grasp on sound design, Laufer combines deceptively simple and emotive melodies, subtle bass drops and swinging slow motion drums. His early work has placed him at the forefront of a new wave of rising talent amongst West Coast producers. Inspired by the desire to write songs and create a release of full-range instrumentation and vocals all his own, Laufer promptly began home-recording Bad Vibes, his proper full-length debut album for the Friends of Friends label. Some might say the songs on Bad Vibes represent the spawn of a new rhythm and blues."
