Phoniks – Down To Earth (Green Vinyl)

2020 Reissue - Green Vinyl Edition!

Phoniks returns with his first full-length solo project. An 18-track instrumental hip-hop beat tape titled “Down To Earth”. Nearly 2 years in the works, Phoniks dug through over 250 hours worth of recorded material when piecing together his solo debut. The album is comprised of 2 to 3 minute jazz-tinged lo-fi head nodders connected with thought provoking spoken word samples from 50’s sci-fi space movies. Crunchy 12-bit drums, spaced-out filters and delays and a sprinkling of horn loops and soul vocals captivate over the albums 40-min run time. The goal is to take the listener off to another place, floating through the cosmos on a one-man space craft with nothing but a pair of headphones and all the time in the world.
