Becoming Real

Becoming Real is a young producer based in the suburbs of nowhere, channeling his very own post-apocalyptic vision of London. A haunted and haunting spectre, his self-termed Ghost-Step soundscapes are as much influenced by a conceptual future dystopia as they are by luminaries Zomby & Mount Eerie.

Re-imagining the iciest of grime synths through a warped K Records aesthetic, Becoming Real has forged a frozen sound that still retains an unequivocally human touch.

Shlohmo

L.A. native Henry Laufer, the 21-year-old producer better known as Shlohmo, is a lo-fi beat junkie and field-recording enthusiast, whose crackling, low-BPM compositions update Boards of Canada's filmstrip-soundtrack wooziness. An LA native, Laufer grew up listening to "stuff like DJ Shadow, Amon Tobin, M83 stuff with some sort of cinematic vision." He started making beats when he was 14, but "didn't really do it with any sort of purpose until I was like 17 or 18. That was also around the time he and his friends, already fans of Flying Lotus, discovered Low End Theory.
