For Hugh. Recorded at DiskoAkimbo Studios. Vinyl Only. 19/05/2025.

Finding the right words is hard when someone like Hugh leaves us. Because how do you sum up someone so singular? How do you capture a spirit as generous, wild, brilliant, and tender as his?
Hugh wasn’t just one in a million — he was the one. There has never been anyone like him, and I know with absolute certainty that there never will be again.

I look back on DiskoAkimbo nights and laugh. And then cry. And then laugh again. Because Hugh was the steadying force through all of it, through every misstep, every late flyer, every half-empty room or last-minute DJ swap. He was the one with patience, with grace, with calm. And I know I tested that patience. Repeatedly.
