As you get older, sometimes it seems like people getting younger and younger are getting better and better at being more awesome than you. Like Shlohmo, the alias of young blood Henry Laufer. Dude is only 19-years-old and already kinda killing it in the beatisphere, rolling with contemporaries like FlyLo, Ras G,
Nosaj Thing, etc.
Basically Shlohmo is mingling his sound in amongst the so-called ‘neu-bass’ thing coming out of LA, which was exactly where his current label Friends of Friends picked him up (interning at
dublab, to be precise) to release the deluxe edition of his
Shlomoshun EP. The release was made in a really lo-fi kinda way, utilizing the opposite of hi-tech gear (most of the recordings were done through the audio-in port on his laptop) and coming up chipper. Like this, for example:
Shlohmo '7am':
The deluxe edition comes with remixes from purveyors of whoa, like
Tokimonsta and Fulgeance. Not bad kudos for a baby-faced producer who can’t even drink at the shows he plays.
