Elliott Power
Shadowy, late-night electronics with a menacing baritone whisper. Cinematic trip-hop for solitary city walks and neon-lit introspection.

Elliott Power is a West London-based recording artist and filmmaker whose work sits at the intersection of trip-hop, soul, and experimental electronics. Emerging in the early 2010s, he gained significant attention with his debut single 'Sink/Swim' on Marathon Artists.
His sound identity is defined by a signature baritone vocal delivery, often whispered or close-mic'd, creating a sense of menacing intimacy. This is paired with production that emphasizes sub-bass pressure, atmospheric reverb, and cinematic textures. Power's career is notably linked to James Lavelle, leading to a collaboration with the legendary Mo' Wax label for his debut album 'Once Smitten' (2016). His work often draws comparisons to the 'Bristol Sound' but is updated with the sleekness of modern UK bass and R&B. Critically, he is praised for his visual-sonic cohesion, likely influenced by his parallel career as an Emmy-nominated filmmaker. His music occupies a niche space for listeners seeking a darker, more sophisticated evolution of downtempo music.
