Abstract Hip-Hop, Chill, Hip-Hop | Drex Carter and Kkami Connect on THAW
Posted by VMan on November 15, 2019
With stellar beats from Kkami and dope flows from Drex Carter, THAW is well worth listening to. The EP is a great introduction to both artists if you are unfamiliar with their prior music, while also showing a different side of each artist’s normal style. Drex’ approach is more laid back and less lyrical than his older music and Kkami’s hybrid instrumentals on this one lean a bit more in the indie scene compared to his older drops. Tune in above now. Also, be sure to check out a new video off the EP by clicking here.
Chill | JOY Showcase Unique Vibe In “Closer To Divine” From ‘Soft Whisper’ Album
Posted by VMan on October 17, 2019
Throwing the vibe back with an IDM and chillout sound of the mid 1990s, JOY’s single “Closer to Divine” conveys a true to life, supernatural, and advanced sort of experience.
The subsequent single highlighted on JOY’s pending and exceptionally presented album Soft Whisper, “Closer to Divine,” is fresh blend of computerized sounds and frantically hyper-musical.
With influences from acts like Autechre and Aphex Twin clearly built in, the instrumental strings and a melodic vibe, “Closer to Divine” is a simple substantial amalgam of nocturnally splattered synth-based tones that reverberate profoundly with significant feeling.

High And Lows EP pulls together two past-prodded singles and uncovers a few more fresh ones, officially putting the duo’s style and mark in 2019 on full display.
A wide blend of influences all aligned through personable stories follow a broader dance-pop road-map, Highs & Lows’ over-arching flow song-to-song and lyric/vocal work being one of many highlights.
With “S.M.S.,” focusing on a situation around a circuitous relationship, then “Faith,” displaying a lighter juxtaposition, the remaining singles fill the gaps with pleasure and ease, the ending leaving you far better off than the start.
Chill, Electronic | Juuku Gets “Gone” with Natalie on New Track
Posted by VMan on October 5, 2019
“Gone” by juuku dropped on Mr.suicidsheep’s record label found / red, and it has been in heavy rotation since I clicked play. The single was dedicated to a late friend who unforuntly passed in a car accident, but something beautiful came from it on this song. Emotional and captivating music is the style of electronic production this producer focuses on and he is one of the best doing it at the moment who isn’t headlining major festival. Not yet at least. Listen now above and keep an eye out for new music out by juuku soon enough (Hopefully.. who knows with this mystery act..)
