Russ 'The Dragon' Elevado is so dedicated to audio, even his bubblebath is analogue. Put his flanging psychedelic flourishes together with some drunken modal wanderings from Dorian Concept, Nino Moschella in control of the kit, and a scene-setting vocal from Natalia and Piper - and what you end up with is powerful ammo for your next game of Scrabble roulette.
