emapea: zoning out volume 2
Francisco Espregueira
Emapea, the renowned Polish beatmaker, burst upon the scene with multiple compilation appearances on Cold Busted and with his stunning debut album Seeds, Roots & Fruits. Released in early 2018, the follow-up, Zoning Out Volume 1, is a soundtrack for chilling and travelling in the deepest of thoughts. Frequently getting into that crucial head-nod zone. The anticipated new installment of the series was released last week: Zoning Out Volume 2.
Developing the theme of Volume 1, Emapea takes his jazzy sensibilities and fresh drum patterns, delivering 18 tracks that play the role of a perfect soundtrack for introspective moments of heartfelt lucidity, ranging from hip hop, to acid jazz, to psychedelic trip hop. These are no-nonsense beat compositions, perfect for thinking, for grooving, for dreaming, for zoning out. Emapea’s Zoning Out Series are one of the best projects on the contemporary instrumental hip hop scene that you can access to. Courtesy of LA based label Cold Busted, both volumes are available in literally every format.
