Desto will release Emptier Streets on June 10th.
Helsinki Risto Roman has been releasing music since 2008 on bass-oriented labels like Argon, Noppa and RAMP. He also runs a label called Signal Life, which so far has released music from the likes of Kowton and Teeth. The music he's produced in the past has often leaned on dubstep and grime, with a preference for bright textures and exaggerated sounds. His first full-length, coming via Dutch imprint Rwina, sees him applying hip-hop elements to a more stripped-back template. A press release describes the LP as "deploying booming drums, rolling hats and cold synthetic melodies and voices inside cavernous sonic landscapes." Previews of two album tracks are available here and here.
