Ok, Accept, Continue - Magenta - LP

Emerging from the UK's vibrant electronic music scene of the early 1990's, Defset has gained recognition for his unique ability to merge elements of dub, ambient, techno, and experimental music, whilst drawing on the acid house, hardcore and jungle of his early career, crafting immersive soundscapes that resonate with listeners on both an emotional and intellectual level. Following on from his debut album in 2021, Defset has spent time developing his sound and on sophomore album 'Ok, Accept, Continue' there is more of an organic tone. Blending trip-hop, Gambian kora music and sound system culture through collaborations from MC Spyda and Jally Kebba Susso, Defset adds a layer of humanity to the album and attempts to embody the human experience of loss and recovery and it's accompanying feelings of sadness, anger, and self-medication, as a form of creative expression from grief's intensity.Defset is the musical moniker of Leo Neelands, a multi-talented artist known for his work in both electronic music and the visual effects industry.
