For those not in the know, Vegyn is an artistic alias of Joe Thornalley, a producer who has previously worked with none other than Frank Ocean. "Only Diamonds Cut Diamonds" is his second album and arrives four years on from the release of his inspired debut full-length, "All Bad Things Have Ended - Your Lunch Included". It's a hugely alluring affair, with Thornalley offering up melodious, ear pleasing cuts that variously mix and match smooth 1980s FM synth sounds, crunchy MPC-driven beats, drowsy chords, eccentric electronics, dusty lo-fi noise, whistling, fretless bass, rap vocals and occasional jaunts into mangled electronica territory. It's presented like a beat-maker's mix-tape and that's exactly what it is: the best mixtape of unheard, off-kilter music you'll have heard this year.
