The young up and coming beat maker out of southern California; mixes a blend of simple funky, yet jazzy samples over mellow drums, to give an overall mellow feel. The beat tape is entitled “The Mellowest Trip” because it’s mellow music to think and dream to. For production info: email him, Blog, and Bandcamp. Album art provided by Ralphael Bonilla.

“half a dozen times during the experiment, i would be withdrawn from my surroundings and from myself. and have an experience, a state euphoria for a period of time that didn’t end for me ….”
<3 the voice samples that he uses

Sounds like he draws a lot of inspiration from the likes of Nujabes(as mentioned above), Bonobo, Blockhead, and Madlib…

wish i could get a instrumental only version of this, beats are hot and the voices over it are meaningful but get in the way of enjoying the music
