Introducing a limited edition of Eyedress's 2018 album, InchSensitive GInch, pressed on transparent lime green vinyl, with only 1000 copies available worldwide. Eyedress, also known as Idris Vicuña, is a musician and producer known for his eclectic blend of genres and introspective lyricism. InchSensitive GInch offers a deeply personal reflection on the joys and pains of his life in Manila. The album showcases a fusion of styles influenced by his upbringing in the US, including R&B, dream-pop, indie rock, punk rock and G-funk.

In many ways, DJ Black Low's debut album, Uwami, shows the signs of an artist's first offering in any musical genre.
