Days Off

De La Soul

A moody, nocturnal EP of remixes and rarities. Slower and more atmospheric than their early work, it captures the group in a state of weary, soulful reflection.

It is like the chill-out room at a hip-hop club where everyone is actually listening to the lyrics.

A weary but soulful urban fatigue that finds beauty in the grind.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The way the Wale Oyejide remix of The Grind Date strips back the original's urgency for a more hypnotic, circular rhythm.
The gritty, almost industrial guitar lick that anchors the mid-section of Stay Away.
The seamless transition into the Inhumanz mash-up where the familiar vocal takes on a jagged, experimental edge.
