Fwonk Mondays



Monday is here again, so it's time for another offering from the Fwonk* netlabel.

Echosonic blends glitchy percussion, drone-laden soundscapes, lush sweeping melodies and severely broken breaks to create a swirling audio wonderland on his album 'Gauze'. Why not download it and listen while you read an interview with the artist below.
