Cosmic Noise

A 20 track instrumental (east coast) album (1h 20m 56s) — released December 17th 2021 on U-Trax

The music of NYC based producer Thavius Beck varies in style a lot, but what they have in common is that they either are moody – in U-TRAX lingo: deep - or they are drum heavy.

From the irresistible single Lovesick/Still Sick to the dark and massive Birdsong (that echoes the sound of his popular song Atmos), and from the head-nodding Work! to the soothing Reunited With The All - if this collection showcases anything, it's Thavius' brilliant production and composing skills, as well as his wizard-level sampling techniques. The result is a luscious electronic music album with a broad appeal.

The common denominator would probably be 'experimental/instrumental hip-hop', reminiscent of producers like Flying Lotus. People have tried all sorts of comparisons to pinpoint Thavius' sound, ranging from 'between DJ Shadow and Orbital' and 'a mix of Massive Attack and The Orb'. None of these are spot on, yet quite a few of these tracks feel like a happy marriage between hip-hop beats and techno sounds.

Available on double sided, 80-minute, 20-track cassette (two exclusive bonus tracks), comes in Maltese cross cardboard picture sleeve.
