Chitra Podcast #12 Ambient Mix by niuee

KapTep is the ambient\drone project from US-based producer Derek Carter. (Sullivan, Illinois). His compositions are a blend of synth layers, loops, effects, and field recordings with the intent of creating an ever-evolving soundscape. The concept behind the KapTep project was to try creating the style of emotional music that he wanted to listen to himself. Every track should evoke an emotion to which you can write your own story. Rain, static hiss, pops, and crackles are often the foundation layered under melancholy, dreamy compositions.

Chitra Podcast #13 Ambient Mix by KapTep

Ghostloop about himself:
"Coming from a drum and bass background (first release 2003). Took a producing journey from dnb to house over techno. Doing an ambient project was a long-standing wish. In 2023 I got in touch with Atlantea and they encouraged me to do a debut album for them. In my productions, I include a lot of field recordings layered with samples I dug from old vinyl combined with synthesizers and a lot of reverb. Most of the time there are basslines as well because of my dnb past".
