ambi-tape

Rolling onto the scene in 2021, db0, the dynamic duo of British-Indian beatmaker Kiran SKG and classical maestro Joe Steele, dropped their debut EP, "ambi-tape," in 2023. Forget about sticking to one lane—these guys are all over the map, blending hip-hop, glitchcore, electro-pop, ambient, jazz, contemporary classical, and Indian folk like it's a musical smoothie.

"ambi-tape" is a six-track joyride through sonic wonderlands, featuring choral voices, synths, saxophones, bells, pianos, and even some field recordings. But this isn't just an album; it's a vibe. Inspired by Kiran's wild EMDR therapy sessions in early 2023, where memory, visualization, and imagination collide, the EP captures a snapshot of life's turning points.

Kicking off the party is "heart space," a track that screams futuristic, left-of-center goodness. It's the kind of tune that makes you raise an eyebrow and say, "What did I just stumble upon?" Then there's "an antz life," serving up a quirky perspective that keeps you hooked.

"sat turning" takes you on a stroll through a sonic forest—serene vibes with a hint of mystery. "mantra" blasts you into outer space, making you feel like you're floating among the stars. Real-life therapy recordings pepper the EP, adding a personal touch that hits you in the feels.

"surfeca fog" and "clear history" round out the EP, providing those chill vibes perfect for work or just lounging. In a nutshell, "ambi-tape" is a chilled-out masterpiece that defies genres and invites you to kick back and soak it all in.

So, if you're up for a laid-back journey through musical eclecticism, dive into db0's "ambi-tape." With more collabs in the pipeline, this duo is set to keep the good vibes flowing. Keep your ears peeled for what's next from db0. They're definitely ones to watch in the chill beats game.
