There’s a motto on Warm Visions: when there’s new music from any Badge Époque Ensemble head boss aka Maximilian Turnbull-related project, it has to be shared. This time it is no different. Here he edits the formula, similar to the “Badge Epoch” project they dropped in 2021, but with a more radical sound. This new project is putting out an EP, DOGMATIC IDEOLOGY, VOL. 1, via Toronto’s Maximum Exposure Inc. on August 11 (today!). A notable pairing: Flying Lotus’ rapping alias Captain Murphy re-emerges for this project – definitely excited to hear that.

On first track “INTERIOR DESIGN”, wild samples stew fragrantly in a steaming soup of chopped up funk breaks and sweaty organ. It’s very much a sweaty sound overall, with new layers of hazy tones washing ashore with every passing minute, providing no respite in its humidity. For those who want their funk to fall off the bone.
