Completely exhausted by gigs after which he had to sleep for three hours, Josh Wink went to his studio to work on the track, but the only thing that he could squeeze out of himself was laughter. “So I said f**k it I’ll record myself laughing.” Back then, he was fascinated by, as he called it, Chicago minimalism: the less, the better. Which meant a Roland TR-909 with elements of classic house and experimental acid. Sound like it’s unfinished but interesting — it’ll do. Don’t laugh was not recorded seriously — it’s a typical sketch: hypnotic, throbbing, diabolic. And besides, it resembled his previous release, How’s the music. Because it was recorded just for fun. But after this, Mike Weiss from a New York label, Nevrous, called. After hearing a funny demo by Wink, which he played as his background music, he immediately asked Wink to send the record to the headquarters of the label. It was Wink’s first big commercial success. Soon he would release Higher State of Consciousness. From here

Thought about both tunes immediately as i saw the josh wink posting from post before.
I never was the biggest fan of his stuff, but i can remember that this was one of his best tunes for me:

 

Love the flying tags & the bboy style

The original melody part is so classic

 

lets hear that guitar!

 

Not sure if i posted it some days ago, i recently rediscovered this mellow indie pre-chillwave tune

 

Never loose faith in people

 

Rhythm & Sound got the smoothest yet powerfull overall tone. The way their kicks & bass sound is so amazing.

 

even more guitar!
