Educating the Confused

Certain Sound Records is proud to present the 1st release of The Dynamite Cooperation. Educating the Confused. The album is available on vinyl & tape. There is a limited run of 100 copies pressed on 140 gr vinyl, and 50 copies of inhouse dubbed tape.

The Dynamite Cooperation is the brainchild of Robbert Peperkamp aka and Tommy Willetts aka . After meeting in music school their joint interest in jazz, breaks, tape and dark cinematic soundscapes resulted in a collaboration that led to this fantastic album.
Expect dark cinematic soundscapes, Drums, trumpets, guitar, keys, ambience and resample madness.

The release is live and can be found on the Certain Sound Records Bandcamp.
You can find the link in the bio,
PS: Today is bandcamp Friday so all the revenues will go to the label and artist.
