Drama Hights establishes himself with ‘Between the Lines’

Drama Hights is a name still fresh to the electronic scene, with just a couple of tracks following behind the alias of the German based artist.

The track through which Drama Hights has begun to create a more established identity is ‘Between the Lines’, a release which makes clear his favour for low tempo chill hop. Led by drum kit beats stamped in at a gradual pace, this is a track which travels with restraint, slow as honey but delivered with a methodical rhythm which creates framework for the hazy melodies concentrating around it.

‘Between the Lines’ was released through Eskapaden Records, a German label with connections to producers including Ladi 6 and Martin Jondo. The label have also had a longstanding relationship with the artist featured on ‘Between the Lines’, DJ Sepalot, whose work on ‘The Liberation Of…’ helped secure a Gold Certification for the album.

Drama Hights looks set to grow, with another single already released through Eskapaden which returns with the same dream-like glow and percussive driven sound. With the addition of some vocal samples, the core vibe is contemporary instrumental hip-hop, the type of style that works for studying and time spent up at 1am, in a space all your own.

City vibes with Parking Lot's Los Angeles drones tape

The artist ‘Parking Lot’ inhabits a large territory, moving through genres such as Shoegaze, Dreampop, Lofi, House and Jungle. Constraints on which area he draws on for inspiration throughout the Los Angeles Drone Tape are relaxed, with five unique tracks twisting around a diverse collection of sounds. The artistic direction of the EP is motivated by experience with Los Angeles, the natural environment surrounding the city, the much more urban area within, and the dance music culture which exists in that space.

Each distinctive song explores a different atmosphere and a difference facet of the city, with subdued rave vibes and more expansive synths earning their own respective places. The heavy, systematic beats present in the tracks 909 and Los Angeles evoke a sense of tribute paid to more classic House, and with the filtering of the deep modulation through a Lofi filter, the result feels like a hazy recollection of the 90’s club scene.

Though there’s diversity within the sound, each track is permeated by Parking Lot’s dreamlike ambience, an underlying characteristic unsurprising considering the Dreampop, Shoegaze and Lofi connection. The release that we’re left with is an aesthetic attempt to capture the spirit of a city.

Laid back vibes from lofi producer- radicule

Straight from New York to your eardrums, 22 year old beat producer radicule cooks up well seasoned tracks with the right amount of dust and definition. With a taste beyond his years, radicule references old anime, 90s cartoons and classic video game tracks resulting in a hazy lofi sound that feels more like it belongs in a walkman than an mp3.

Fortunately for us, that lofi analog touch is now available through the beat compilation ‘Seasonal Sounds 5: Fall’ courtesy of Boston label - Dust Collectors. The compilation features 44 tracks of headnodding beats to pop in your cassette player and float away to. Expect a start-to-finish mix of diverse beats, nostalgic samples, and faded soundscapes.
