Played by Roland The Realest, Born To Shine Records, Henri Le Blanc Together Melbourne pair Amin Payne and Sean Deans form APSD, and they debut in quite impressive form with this Digital Dust album for Hot Shot Sounds. Inkswel and Benny Badge s label has developed into the prime source for what they call -drum machine soul music- and APSD are a perfect fit. Some 11 tracks deep, Digital Dust features contributions from the voice of Fat Freddy s Drop himself, Joe Dukie, as well as Miles Bonny, Cazeaux OSLO, Silent Jay and more. Yet it s Deans and Payne s innate mastery of a glistening brand of funk across various tempos which shines through on this album.
