Following releases on Bristol labels Dummy Hand and Avon Terror Corps, producer Matt Light aka Yokel delivers a highly collaborative album with MCs D Ham and Franco Franco via Bokeh Versions. Parable Of The Empty Cup also features guest contributions by Sensational, Dali de Saint Paul and Kelan, as well as a remix by Kinlaw.

Describing this exclusive mix, Plaque imprint founder and Noods Radio host Yokel says: “This mix is an hour of classic Def Jux, Chocolate Industries, WordSound, and Axiom – as well as plenty more abstract lyricism, cyberpunk aesthetics and late 2000s beat-futurism. I guess, the hope is that if you put it all in a blender it might sound a bit like our album or maybe not at all...”
