Radio Slave returned to his Rekids imprint this month with the ‘Acid Dip’ single.

In the summer of this year, Eli & Fur released their debut studio album ‘Found in The Wild’ which went straight to #1 on release in the UK iTunes Electronic Albums Chart.

Standing 17 minutes tall, ‘Corruption’ is the third ‘Chapter’ from John 00 Fleming’s album-prefacing run of 2021 singles.
