SHLOHMO | The Way U Do

Happy Valentines Day.

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. 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. Shlohmo has rocketed onto our radar screen in recent months with his lo-fi, psychedelic mix of abstract hip-hop, bouncy synth-funk, and breezy trip-hop.

It’s late night on Valentine’s Day and I’ve been itchin’ for love-make songs. As most of you love birds are out and about enjoying this holiday going out on fancy dinners, dressing up, or just saying “fuck it, let’s just fuck” - this it’s a good track if you’re looking for some slow rhythmic vibes in bed. Shlohmo came out of nowhere with a remix from Burial and from there, I knew he was going to hit it big with his beats and productions. “The Way U Do” starts off in a steady pace and when the track start’s to taper off, about a quarter way in, vocals and the quick hip-hop high hats kick into gear knowing something is going to drop. Yeah, none of that dubstep bullshit. Give it two minutes and wait to start moving yourself all over one another, bodies pressed, and making some sexy shit happen. 

Second time listening through, yeah, I want to use this for some love-make to happen. 

Shlohmo is impressive LIVE and I highly recommend if you don’t know about him.

Anyways, hope you all had a good Valentines Day. What did you do for Valentines Day?
