Welcome all free spirits and artistic souls in our Sunday blogpost for #a-zmusic challenge. We would like to thank you all for supporting this project through curating, reblogging, commenting and upvoting our daily dose of relaxing, ambitious electronic music with a pinch of melancholy. Motivated by this gray day, we would like to represent a colorful explosion of sounds coming from

NOSAJ THING

Jason Chung, American electronic music composer with roots as a surprisingly low-profile beatmaker for many modern rap gods, including Kid Cudi, Kendrik Lamar or Chance The Rapper. Developing a wide knowledge in beats production, Nosaj Thing understood that it is a good base for moving forward into more ethereal synth-based, instrumental dystopian sound structures. Innovative musical approach quickly helped him to set up a wide network of like-minded artists from the future, including Flying Lotus, Nobody, Daedelus, or D-Styles and promote globally. There is no point of searching own ways to describe his style, while Redbull explained it all.

Chilly-synth, heavy-bass, brilliant trill-hat manipulation, piano layered over at-times haunting tracks, infused with typical hip-hop elements, and whispered vocals, his sound is too diverse to fit into one specific category but is so uniquely his, all the same. Patrons of his sound can bear witness to the fact that it has taken on a slightly darker, but warmer and more complex tone with each progressing album.

NILS FRAHM

German Pianist, composer, electronic music producer, live-performer, sounds engineer and owner of the recording studio in Berlin. Coming from the artistic family, Nils since the youngest years was surrounded by many instruments, inspirations and ideas. Musical childhood led him to the low point at the age 13, when he was determined to quit playing and focus on being pilot or astronaut. Wisely motivated by his father, Nils tried his skills in electronic keyboard, exploring completely new areas of music, world of synthesizers, amplifiers, mixing desks, tape machines and artificial instruments, developing heavy interest in creating and re-designing completely new forms of sounds. In the portfolio of this multi-awarded composer, we can find 21 long play albums, including the newest one Empty released this year, during lockdown. Special credits for YouTube algorithm recommendations, which helped me to find Nils Frahm under the song of ultracreative one-girl-army Kelly Moran, presented few days ago on #a-zmusic. It is not so often to see a feedback like this in the comment section. Raving Foxes are curious if you will share the same enthusiasm after listening to this gem. Enjoy!
