Dusty, sample-heavy house music with a hip-hop heart. Warm grooves and jazz-flecked rhythms for sunny afternoons and late-night city strolls.
Simon Hinter creates music that feels like a bridge between the golden era of hip-hop production and the sophisticated pulse of modern deep house. His tracks are defined by a tactile, 'dusty' quality, often sounding as if they were unearthed from a crate of forgotten 1970s jazz-funk records. There is a persistent warmth here, driven by analog textures and a rhythmic swing that feels human rather than programmed.
What truly sets Hinter apart is his refusal to let the beat become static. Drawing on his background in scratching and boom-bap, he injects a playful restlessness into his percussion. You will hear unquantized snares, chopped-up guitar licks, and vocal stabs that act more like rhythmic instruments than melodic leads. It is house music for people who appreciate the art of the edit and the soulful imperfection of a well-placed sample.
Start with the 'Fridge Funk EP' or 'Get Down EP' to experience his signature blend of high-fidelity polish and basement-studio grit. It is the perfect soundtrack for moments that require a steady groove but demand a bit more character than standard club fare.
