Mysterious, experimental, chilled and darkly playful, like exploring the Looney Tunes Haunted House, off-kilter beats and samples to suit a Vice news style documentary or contemporary urban filmmaking.
Polished clubby electronica. Fat synths interspersed with dynamic, glossy, banging beats. Melancholy synth chords and vocal samples add an introspective edge.
