Float

Otis McDonald

Live-instrumental hip-hop that trades aggressive beats for a fluid, soulful glide. Warm bass lines and unquantized drums create a perfect mid-tempo headspace.

It's like a live soul band decided to make a lo-fi hip-hop record in a sunlit studio.

A sophisticated and sun-drenched glide through instrumental soul and hip-hop grooves.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The way the bass lead on track 4 mimics the fluid motion of skating through a park.
The sudden shift into a dreamier, more spacious texture halfway through 31st Dream.
The crisp, dry snare snap on Pressure that provides a sharp contrast to the liquid synth pads.
