Beat Tape 1

Tom Misch

Nineteen sketches of sun-drenched guitar and dusty hip-hop percussion. A formative document of the South London bedroom soul scene.

It's like a warm hug from a guitar that grew up listening to J Dilla.

A gentle, sun-soaked optimism that feels both private and welcoming.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The heavy, unquantized kick drum on Dilla Love that feels like a heartbeat skipping
The way the guitar melody on Summer perfectly mimics the feeling of heat haze over pavement
The transition into Windmills of Your Mind where the classic melody is reimagined through a hazy soul lens
