Aqeel Aadam is involving himself in the electronic community from his base of operations in New York, looking to blend the boundaries between the genres of hip-hop and modern electronic, and incorporating a passion for modular synthesiser that began back when he was a teen getting to grips with production.
Making more determined movements to establish his discography, Aadam released Daydreams in late September 2019, a short series of cinematic movements. That’s now been followed by an eight track debut album released on April 24th , and made in association with the LA Label Mystery Circles, continuing their pattern of linking up with artists who are out to experiment with imaginative sound.
The album was put together by Aadam using a Eurorack Modular, alongside standalone synthesizers and is titled ‘Hollow Moon’. The LP takes a trip into themes of anxiety with each track investigating a different aspect of the condition, building into the larger narrative of self- exploration and self-acknowledgement.
Our featured track is ‘Weighted Blanket’, smaller clicks leading into a gentle and essentialist melody which is covered by unapologetically dense synth. The downtempo vibe ushers in a mood of peaceful relaxation, which is calm but inescapable.
