Diwon’s debut solo LP, New Game, is finally out. A breakneck journey through the strange loops of his unique artistic process, New Game finds Diwon working with artists from the hip-hop underground such as Tim Fite and MC Paul Barman, as well as indie sirens like Liza. Tracks are variously built from funky-drummer style percussion or bass-heavy West Coast production, laced with everything from crunchy psychedelic guitars to Middle Eastern melisma. Still others, like the title track New Game, featuring Liza, spike the punch with a strong dose of ice-cold synthesizers to sing the Eurotrash nonstop party crowd to bed. It’s the producer as auteur, every track taking you through the emotional space of the artist, like Kanye or Godard.
