#PREMIERE Global Goon 'Admer'
Premiering 'Admer' by Global Goon taken from 'Painting With Acid Vol 2' out now digitally and on cassette via Acid Waxa
Global Goon is back with a second helping of painterly squelchers and 303 face-melters, hot off the heels of 'Painting With Acid Vol 1'!
Global Goon (aka Johnny Hawk) is a former shepherd and programmer from Merseyside, U.K. Having moved to London, for a multimedia company in the 90s, he began producing music for fun and as a side hustle while rooming with Richard D James (aka Aphex Twin). Following some encouragement from the man himself, Hawk released his debut album ‘Goon’ on RDJ’s Rephlex imprint in 1996. Rumours that Global Goon was an alias of Aphex Twin, persisted even after the release of Cradle of History and Vatican Nitez. He later formed his own label J-Hok Records, before going on to release more hard-hitting acid tracks with the dancefloor in mind under the Syntheme, alias for Planet Mu and WeMe Records. The Painting With Acid series on Acid Waxa continues in the same vein, while also delving into experimental soundscapes and more downtempo ambient numbers, reminiscent of Goon’s earlier tracks for Rephlex.
