solomun and max styler put records out on the same friday. eight picks, the first contraband of the week, and the story of how max styler nearly quit in 2020 and who talked him out of it. plus the label nobody's talking about yet.
the first one. eight picks, a track of the week that had been sitting in a soundcloud upload since the 15th, and the receipts on what it took to find them.
