Inspired partly by a dear artist and friend of mine Olright, who's philosophy is the Sampler Aesthetic, my love for the forest, and cool crisp winter air. 
Do Enjoy.

War Crimes

This is by far the most unique, challenging, fun, and exciting release I've ever put forward. It's an homage to the sounds I've been inspired by since moving to LA, and also my place of work for the last two years. 

I'm pushing myself to experiment with different rhythms, sonics and get out of my comfort zone. This was a lot of fun!

     CrypticFlow has been a force in the underground bass music scene for nearly a decade. Owing his humble beginnings to hometown & high school friend’s label Aspire Higher he first started playing shows in the Philly area in 2016. 
     While at the Dubspot Academy in NYC he met Vibe Street and toured with him in 2016 & 17 across the U.S. 
     By 2018 he was hosting his own weekly Music and Art night in Santa Cruz, CA which lasted until the pandemic. 
     During the post pandemic years he was recharging in Nevada City, CA where he met members of the Do Lab and played his first sets at LiB in 2023. 
     Immediately following LiB he moved to Los Angeles, CA to further pursue his craft in music, technology, filmmaking, & events. 
     A trained musician he plays bass, trombone, & keys and draws inspiration from jazz, classical, hip hop, rap, rock, metal, ambient, sampling, field recording, film, cities and the natural world. 
    With many releases, visual projects, and the relaunch of his event slated for 2025 CrypticFlow could not be more excited for the future and the current state of the project. 
     This mix represents a decade of focus in Electronic Music production and a lifetime of his own personal and artistic development.

I wrote all the parts and played the bass line. This is a sound I've been trying to emulate for a long while now and feels good to catch up to the sounds I hear in my head.

Silk Route (feat. Lola Blue)

Silk Route

I made this track on my flight from Philly back to the Bay Area around New Years 2018/19. I had just played a set in Philly to some of my long time hometown friends, and was on my way back to California for Tipper's NYE run. I was up all night and to say the least, I was giddy. This tune just rolled off my fingers.
