Alleys to Valleys

Hermitude

Dusty, jazz-inflected trip-hop that trades festival energy for late-night urban introspection. A masterclass in turntablism used as a melodic lead instrument.

August 25, 2003 · Elefant Traks

Find on Amazon

A sophisticated, nocturnal blend of jazz-inflected melancholy and rhythmic precision.

Moments Worth Listening For
The way the jazz piano loop in Massive Passive anchors a flurry of complex turntable scratches
The sudden shift into a heavy, drunken dub rhythm that feels like the room is tilting
The ethereal synth pads on Space Evaders that stretch out the hip-hop beat into something cosmic
