Before a Million Universes

Big Ups' debut on Tough Love Records captures the label’s knack for raw, unpolished house and techno—here filtered through lo-fi production and skeletal rhythms that feel more like salvage than construction. The title track unfolds across minimal drums and warped vocal samples, while deeper cuts lean into acid-tinged breakbeats and murky ambient interludes. Before a Million Universes establishes Big Ups as a producer comfortable in the margins, favoring texture and restraint over polish.
