DJ Signify - Sleep No More

Sleep No More is 1200 Hobos/Anticon founding member DJ Signify's full-length debut. Signify's previous output has been mostly confined to a series of notorious mixtapes and some dope production work for his fellow 1200 Hobos operators which culminated with his excellent Mixed Messages compendium of beats and cuts. His blend of darkly atmospheric textures and soundscaping proudly reaches deep into a myriad of musical traditions

The album unfolds like a more introverted, introspective DJ Shadow, unafraid to dig into all sorts of beguiling found sounds and unexpected twists. Buck 65 and Sage Francis offer up the rhymes for about half the tracks and it’s Sage who packs the brightest verbal punch with his hoarse delivery and contemplative tales of woe. DJ Signify is a good addition to the fine Lex roster, fitting in perfectly as atmosphere-maker-in-residence, especially useful for those late late nights spent deep in thought.
