Lubelski – ‘Happy Accidents’
The premise for the album, ‘Happy Accidents’ is pretty interesting — during lockdown Lubelski ran a weekly modular synth jam show on the Dirtybird Twitch that saw him going down a wormhole of improvised bleeps, bloops and original vocals for hours at a time. It was erratic and strange, a kind of embodiment of a time that was especially tough on young artists in exile from the clubs. Claude VonStroke loved it so much he asked Lubelski to create an album around the concept, which also caught the eye of Twitch who offered him an official partnership on the platform. So for the whole summer Lubelski jammed on his modular setup live on Twitch, asked fans what sounds they liked the most in the chat and in his Discord, then turned those sounds into an amazing album primed for dancefloors and festival stages.
