Award winning turntablist DJ Woody is set to release his debut solo album, The Point of Contact on October 10. The 12-track LP combines elements of hip-hop, jazz-rock, Britcore, psychedelia, and electronic in what Woody jokingly refers to as “prog-hop.”

“[The Point of Contact] is about the transient nature of our own perception and what that brings to our experience,” Woody says.

The project follows Woody’s and Boca 45’s EP, BocaWoody NW/SW, which dropped in May.
