The Difference Machine presents ‘Alien Nation and the Black Adolescent.’
An exposè on the conditions in which we live, the obstacles in our path, and the rage that we simply cannot hold back anymore. This is the 4th studio album from the Atlanta-based psychedelic rap outfit, and their 2nd with FULL PLATE, following up 2022’s ‘Unmasking the Spirit Fakers’.

Chew is psychedelic, but whatever the back psychedelia is. The antithesis of glossy pop riffs and recycled arrangements, Chew manages to squeeze and contort multiple genres in a fuzzed out freak out of a live performance. After starting in 2015 with 20 minutes of music, Chew has toured all over the US, Canada, Europe, and The UK. Now in 2024 and 4 releases deep, Chew is ready to serve up a brand new album and continue to tour forever.

Chris Hunt is an Atlanta-based producer focused on the texture and atmosphere of sound. Following the dissolution of his band Cloudeater, where he was one of the driving aesthetic forces, Hunt began focusing on a new personal and intense sonic project. Years of writing and experimentation have produced Tomb and Tomb II, 2 “solo” EPs. Tomb was produced in collaboration with vocalist Marshall Ruffin, guitarist Emil Werstler, and bassist/engineer John Davis.

Recorded between Atlanta and New York, Tomb was assembled using an array of traditional drums, classic synthesizers and tape machines ultimately to be pulled apart and rebuilt with layers of dense digital manipulation and analog distortions. Armed with harsh noise and lush cinematic textures melded with emotive passages, Tomb and Tomb II culminate in a cataclysm of sound and collapse.

Dillon currently resides in Atlanta, Georgia in America. He makes food & music & thinks he is a lot funnier than people actually think he is. He had long hair once. Dillon is an actor but very small-time so fuck you. He is left handed. Scratch that, he only writes with his left hand. In college, as a teppanyaki chef, he cooked salmon & scallops for Chuck D.
