Maria Uzor releases her debut solo album Soft Cuts via Castles In Space on October 13.
Ventolin is the first single lifted from the album.
Nat says it is a "dancefloor strut"
It’s a stunning album – electronic, eclectic and esoteric – clearly revelling in its own diversity and willfulness, but also heavily loaded with some absolute stone-cold bangers. There are echoes of everything from the techno of Aphex Twin to the funk of Zapp, with a bit of everything else in between.

This is as good as the officially released WRNTDP titles on CIS. Very pleased to pick it up, where the pieces here are longer than most on the records they benefit from the slow unwinding they are afforded. The 18 minute live set excerpt is particularly immersive. Wouldn't be the worst idea in the world to release this on vinyl as a companion to the inevitable repressing of This Nation's Most Central Location. Great stuff. Oh and you get a cool magazine to read as well. Awesome. shaun rogan
This is very close to what I heard/felt everytime we visited the grandparents in Runcorn.
Ominous dread. Bleak dystopia. Concrete and terraced houses. Plus the air smells! MonkeyMajiks
