## Summary

Los Angeles electronic artist Rett Smith, who records as Tin Lung, has released the single ‘THAT’S WHAT THE MONEY IS FOR’. The track is the lead single and closing piece in a trilogy of short releases, and previews ‘EP 3’, due on 4 December.

The four-track EP draws on future garage and IDM and was made using hardware only, reflecting Smith’s stated opposition to algorithm-driven music and digital sameness. He recorded, produced and mixed it at Tularosa Sound in Los Angeles; longtime collaborator Stefan Brown mastered it at Abbey Road Studios. Smith has previously contributed guitar to Hudson Mohawke’s ‘Cry Sugar’, and plans to release his debut full-length in spring 2027.
