fnj

This three-letter pick, fnj, is made up of leftovers from the last week or two of compilation picks - tracks I didn’t end up using, but couldn’t bring myself to drop. They didn’t land where I first imagined them, but they still move, still groove, still do the job. No theme, no cleanup, just a stack of rhythm-forward records that earned a second life together. Thrown into camelot key order and nudged along by bpm, because that’s how my brain hears them anyway. Just a mixtape of things that refused to disappear. The title is just randomly chosen letters I hit on the keyboard with my eyes closed, so don't gain any meaning from that.
