With a contempt for conventionality and a love for experimentation, Agent 101 creates music that is electronic yet organic, machine yet human. On Frost, for example, you can forget traditional instruments; this Australian artist conducts an orchestra of fat wet boots crunching through snow, of dark leaky basements, of wind whispering through winter wastelands. Its a lesson in evoking mood. Or check out the anthemic On Top of the World, a track which proves that not only can anything be the beat, the beat can be the melody. Rough Sketches may only be an EP, but like the preliminary jottings of a painter, its full of ideas and inspiration. Download the tracks, sit back and enjoy!
