Mr. Conner A soundscape built around a light, breakbeat base with a lo-fi dreamy quality, sticky bass lines and hypnotic melodies painted over the top that sometimes prompt you to dance and other times to pause and wander. Laura Dre creates a range of moods and atmospheres. A complete listening experience from beginning to end.
