on 'love him', italian turntablist and sampling artist, okapi (filippo paolini), masterfully conducts a plundered symphony of more than 100 elements to celebrate the notorious kyrgyz composer aldo kapi (1896-1952). somewhere in between record digging, electro-acoustic tomfoolery and slotmachine soundcards, lies the break-notcore, bubble-gum experimental turntablism of this new full-length from italy's own 'daft giraffe.' in addition to his solo work, filippo has recorded in the duo metaxu and with the trio dogon. he has performed live for national italian state radio broadcasts (rai) with renowned avant-turntablist, christian marclay and collaborates with numerous international artists such as mike cooper, peter brotzmann, mike patton, matt gustafson, zu, damo suzuki, andy ex, and metamkine.
