Audible Visions by Alexis Le-Tan

Our friend Alexis Le-Tan has just released a new mix CD in collaboration
with Ill-Studio — a spaced-out musical ceremony in which sounds from the past meet ideas from the future. This mixtape from another dimension blends electro, new beat, space disco, minimal-synth, afro and new-wave grooves in a concoction which after one listen, is bound to give you sonic hallucinations. And if that weren’t enough it also comes with an otherworldly packaging and poster to seal the deal!

Audible Visions is available at the Ill Studio shop.
