Metaphysics
Alternative West Coast hip-hop from the electronic perspective.
My electronic music journey started in turntablism, so hip-hop has always been part of the foundation. The connection between hip-hop production and electronic music isn’t new - it’s been there since the beginning. What’s interesting is watching modern hip-hop circle back and embrace techno elements that were always lurking in the background.
Metaphysics explores that intersection from the production side. These are instrumental hip-hop tracks built with an electronic music mindset - the beats come with some credibility, but there’s space for an experimental edge.
These are hip-hop beats built with an electronic producer’s toolkit. The foundation is hip-hop - the swing, the way the drums hit - but I’m processing it through synthesizers and samplers that come from years in electronic music.
Metaphysics captures a specific moment when these influences clicked together in the studio. Sometimes the best music happens when you stop worrying about boundaries and just follow what the track needs.
