Street Bangerz, Vol. 1

Gramatik

Twenty-one tracks of dusty vinyl samples and crisp boom-bap percussion. A masterclass in soulful downtempo that feels like a midnight walk through a quiet city.

Find on Amazon

A sophisticated and soulful urban soundtrack that balances nostalgic warmth with a cool, rhythmic detachment.

Moments Worth Listening For
The way the soul vocal in 'Don't Get Weary' sits perfectly atop a crisp, snapping snare that cuts through the vinyl haze.
The transition into 'Shaft Funk' where the bassline thickens and the groove shifts into a more aggressive, cinematic strut.
The melancholic piano loop in 'Lorena's Butterfly' that feels like a forgotten memory being played back on a worn tape.
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
