(Diamond Cut Instrumentals, Vol 1)

I feel for this producer; the title matches what I expect from this tape. A man who has the capacity to lock in and create some of the most elegant and powerful albums of the modern era! A man who has been on countless projects and has helped make critical acclaim with his name and work alone! 

So, to hear he’s released an instrumental volume just makes me excited to see what kind of magic he’s letting us in on! 

Brand new beat tape by Giallo Point. 10 tracks and 25 minutes of instrumentals guaranteed to make you feel some kind of way. The beauty of a man like this is you don’t know which side you’re going to see!

Will you be getting the experimentally groovy jazz splash of his ‘PAPITAS’ series with Estee? Or maybe his more theatrical and deep cuts like on ‘THE ANOMALY’ from NOWAH THE FLOOD. Either way, he’s got a sound for any mood, and this time around, when out for himself, he’s made it a point to deliver some of the most lavish, delicate, and soulful cuts I’ve EVER heard him handle! 

Across these 10 tracks, he utilises such fantastical elements as 

-Glistening synth chords

– Funk-inspired drum patterns

-P Funk rhythms

-Shimmering notes

-Gorgeous vocal snippets

-RnB/Soul production

-Plucked guitar and more.

All the inspirations he’s decided to use on here just make my heart melt. It’s an album you can play at the end of a hard day as you can feel your troubles shifting away as you’re transported to a mellow, alternate pocket dimension courtesy of the majestic music!

Listening to this album becomes an atmospheric experience similar to astral projection. The music itself is perfectly balanced and complements each track that comes before and after! While also sounding original on its own with each track providing something different and unique! 

I love how this album feels like it’s in a dimension of its own. I don’t care about any pointless, over-the-top mastering or polished product that’s scrubbed so clean it’s impossible to distinguish the techniques used on the album! Yes, it’s absolutely beautiful, but it’s done in his own style. 

Everything on this album feels natural, grounded, organic, and pure. 

I can feel the effort and emotion equipped into this album at every point. The time he spent making these beats and, of course, my mind wondering and picturing different types of rappers for this project! 

Although only 25 minutes, this thing is nothing to sleep on. It’s perfectly produced, sweet in execution, and memorable in all the right ways! Make sure you go support the brother and check it out now!
