Shlohmo

Shlohmo makes me feel like a brain-fried, perverted, degenerate- I mean that in the best way possible.  The off-kilter stutter of his beats, the lush ambient soundscapes, the cheeky little clap that sounds a bone snapping- all of these sounds make me cringe and squint and bite my fingers.

I can hear parallels between Shlohmo and an array of stellar producers such as Juj, Flying Lotus, Mount Kimbie, Dimlite to name a few that stick out in my mind.  You can hear it in the discombobulated loping swing of his kicks and snares and the artful use of ambient textures.

But Shlohmo has his own signature cheeky mystique as well as instantly recognizable subtle but vulgar bass sounds, which make me scrunch up my face and close my eyes- listen to Tomato Smash; you’ll hear what I’m referring to.

Henry Laufer is a 20 year old producer working and living in the Bay area.  Pick up the Camping EP or Shlo-Fi EP- both are chock full of gems.  They’re available for purchase here .
