Summer of Haze sounds like a transmission from a digital purgatory where rave culture and religious mysticism collide. The music is defined by a thick, suffocating atmosphere of reverb and delay, pierced by the sharp, aggressive snap of trap-influenced percussion. It is high-energy but emotionally distant, creating a sense of 'hazy' euphoria that feels both sacred and profane.
What truly sets this artist apart is the mastery of the 'witch house' aesthetic without being confined by its tropes. While many peers lean into pure noise, Summer of Haze maintains a melodic, almost pop-like sensibility buried under layers of grime. The use of pitched-down vocal samples and shimmering, vapor-like synths creates a distinctive contrast against the crushing weight of the basslines.
Start with the album 'Jessica' to experience the project at its most polished and evocative. It captures the transition from the early, raw 'drag' sound into a more expansive, cinematic electronic style that feels like a soundtrack for a city that never sleeps and never sees the sun.
