Wow this blew up! Me and @AdrianRMG don't have a SoundCloud but we'd really appreciate if you could follow Glög's. He might be a centuries-old taxidermised corpse but that doesn't stop him dropping dank lofi hip-hop beats to study/chill to

@AdrianRMG p.s. If you liked this check out some of the other stuff we've made, thanks!
