Deadringer

RJD2

Sample-based storytelling. Dusty vinyl crackle, cinematic soul loops, and heavy breakbeats create a definitive late-night urban soundtrack.

Find on Amazon

It's like a 70s soul movie soundtrack remixed by a genius with a crate of dusty records and an MPC.

A soulful, cinematic journey through urban nostalgia and late-night contemplation.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The triumphant brass and whistling hook of Ghostwriter that feels like a forgotten 70s film theme.
The way the drums in Smoke & Mirrors hit with a heavy, thudding weight against the delicate guitar loop.
The transition into the hidden track Here's What's Left, where the mood shifts into a deep, soulful meditation.
