Really interesting "cosmic" beat compositions from Los Angeles producer Smax. Great varied textures. Recommended for anyone into the spacier side of electronica. If you like Flying Lotus, you will love this. FCC Clean (all songs instrumental)
RIYL: Flying Lotus, Dam Funk, Nosaj Thing, Night Slugs Records
TRY: 7, 10, 2, 8
1. Crashing, chaotic mess of samples and frenzied drumming. Really cool fullness
*2. Laidback 10-hours-of-chill-beats-to-study-to with some cool splashing/crunchy elements and chopped indistinguishable vocal samples
3. Choppy beat with lots of high-hats and a distinct neon intergalactic feel. Think Girl Unit, Jam City, etc.
4. Energetic breakbeat with blow-out basslines
5. Smooth, chill, string elements, gentle xylophone
6. Murmury blown-out beat
*7. Shimmery cyberpunk with wild phaser and twinkly effects
*8. Futuristic J Dilla, chopped soul vocals, great "swing"
9. Rumbly and rattly with a great deep baseline
*10. Lonely late night dubstep, reminds me of Burial
11. Swirly with flowly xylophone scales
