I got into the work of Airside through Lemon Jelly, whom I discovered in a sampler hot-glued to the cover of a year 2000 issue of Select Magazine. Remember CD’s and magazines? Remember 2000? What a shit year for me. I followed Lemon Jelly around faithfully, as much as a young adult worshipping a non-touring Brit electronica duo can (via cyberspace and Tower Records). Since LJ and Airside are connected umbilically via Fred Deakin, I was exposed to their early prints, record sleeves, ephemera, whatnots, on the lemonjelly.ky site (miss u). I dreamed of one day importing their huge glow-in-the-dark LJ poster to adorn my dorm room. Their aesthetic choices are filtered to just the essentials. Just a palette of abstracted forms that the mind can absorb easier-ly, while supporting a brash fantasy where humor, beauty and mundanity share the same teeter-totter. <3
