Experimental Beats

prtnd is an artist / music producer with a focus on creating music that blurs the lines between contemporary hip-hop, trip-hop, and lo-fi music. His sound is fresh and intuitive, and his creative style is very kaleidoscopic, bridging the gaps between a broad range of creative influences. At times immersive and soothing, at times melodic and universally appealing, this particular studio effort does not disappoint in terms of immersive production aesthetics. The soundscapes are astounding and beautiful, matching Auracane’s talent with a crisp and intelligible sound that’s multifaceted. Auracane is going to be right up your alley if you are a fan of artists such as J Dilla, Flying Lotus, and Nosaj Thing, only to mention a few.

The name stems from his wild imagination, and the proof is in the pudding. Using the discontinued SP-555 he engineers his fresh sounds through a vintage machine and the result is a brilliant bridge between time. With several projects in the work with pioneers of lofi hip hop (bsd.u, lofi.samuri, saaaz to name a few) this is a project to keep a close ear on. Preview his upcoming EP, turmoil:
