Experience rich soundscapes and lofi beats in a west coast style
bayamo. is a LA-based producer and multi-instrumentalist. He is a self-taught, and talented performer, cited by great artists such as Thundercat, dimlite and Makaya McCraven.
His debut EP "Slow is Fast" has just been released on German label Jakarta Records. He’s incorporated a variety of musical genres such as breakbeats, jazz, funk, hip hop and electronica to create a rich, mellow sound, the result of hours spent honing in the studio.
It's a contradictory title, "Slow is Fast," but his organic sound is a chilled out mood that you'll feel in no time. From the opening "First Light", you’ll be drawn into an enthusiastic groove that feels the influence of jazz. Also, the remarkable track "Tailwind" starts with a funky breakbeat followed up with smooth guitar licks. “The Morning on Laurel Canyon”, which has a soft mellow vibe like waking from a good night's sleep, pays homage to Laurel Canyon, the sacred site of West Coast rock created in the 1960s and 1970s. Impressive with the glittering synthesizer sound, "Honey" has a beautiful floating melody, reminiscent of the carefree feeling of young lovers falling for the first time. The emotional sound of the gorgeous "detach" that concludes the end seems to fall deeply into a sweet dream that cannot be escaped. This work, which contains these eight tracks, expands into its own universe when you close your eyes.
