about

Spiritual Dispatchers has been stewing for over a year. Max & Emilio's collaboration is one that is rooted in spontaneity, wonder and respect. Their process was pretty much devoid of any stylistic or musical references, which has led them into a strange colliding world that mixes elements of sci-fi, psychedelia, 1970s synthesis, funky beats, and brutally honest and lucid poetry.

The album is organized in an alternating fashion between electronic-sampling-tape-loop-synthesis experiments, and experimental hip hop compositions in order to give the listener a cascading experience.

The sonic and poetic landscape that emanates is definitely influenced by their experience growing up in an intense industrial and creative centre in Northern Ontario. As teenagers, Max and Emilio knew one another and spent much time during their formative years in and our of various arts and music circles. Their shared, yet mostly unspoken, histories are distilled here.
