TOMC's second beat album in almost two years, "True Life" is an album filled with the history of beat music from the 1990s to the 2020s.

The album is a combination of "deep respect for the history of jazz and soul", "sound-collage like abstract hip-hop and trip-hop", "hybrid musicality with various rhythms similar to LA beats", and "a quiet listening experience that resonates with ambient music after the lo-fi beats movement. The result is a work that combines all of these qualities.

In addition, the album is unique in its deep knowledge of club culture, including medium grooves like rare grooves and neo-soul, house music, and even 2step.

This album is like Nujabes' "Modal Soul" in the 2020s, and is a dense piece of sampledelia magic similar to The Avalanches, Cornelius and others.

The album features three guests. H.Takahashi, the owner of Kankyo Records, where TOMC also works as a writer/reviewer, and one of the current frontrunners in nowadays Japanese ambient scene, pushes the quality of the balearic new age track, "True Life Again," to the extreme. Yutaka Hirasaka, a guitarist/beatmaker shows off his superb groovy playing on "Ubiquity. Hiroyuki Nakamura, a pianist and a longtime friend of TOMC, plays a key role in raising the quality of the three songs that form the heart of the album. He is like Uyama Hiroto in Nujabes’ works.

What TOMC expresses in its sound is a genuine wish for those who stand at the crossroads of their lives to live their "true life" with their hearts beating with excitement while being lost in their own positions.

Yes, this album may appear to be a complex work, with three deep "inner" suites and short interludes, but the result is very far from a sense of introspection or stagnation. Instead, the album is filled with sincere vibes that inspire and celebrate the lives of listeners living in today's uncertain society. 

This album is TOMC's first masterpiece, summarizing his extensive work from beats to ambient and beyond. We hope that this album will connect the cultures before and after the lo-fi movement and will be loved beyond the boundaries of the scene for a long time to come.

Remix single out now everywhere: fsxrs.lnk.to/parachute

As we get ready to roll out more new music from Lane Beckstrom later this month, first we circle back to last year's “Parachute” single – where the prolific bassist (for Chance The Rapper & Nico Segal’s Social Experiment ‘Surf’ project, as well as The JuJu Exchange, Resavoir, Kids These Days, and more) first debuted as a solo artist. 

For the occasion, Lane reached out to fellow Chicagoan, artist/producer Knox Fortune (who had Lane play bass & co-produce on his ’Stock Child Wonder’ LP), and Knox came through in spades with an electronic-tinged, dancefloor-ready take on the track – which now also serves as the latest release in our Fresh Selects Remix Series. 

You can stream or buy the single through the link in our bio now, and stay tuned for Lane’s debut LP coming this summer…

Remix Produced & Mixed by Knox Fortune

Mastered by Ron Shaffer @ Atlantic West Studios

Pre-order Lane Beckstrom 'Looking Out' – releasing Sept. 29th: fsx.lnk.to/looking-out

At one point serving as the working title track to the album – "Daisies" is now batting clean-up on the roll-out towards Chicago multi-talent Lane Beckstrom's upcoming debut LP.  Fittingly, it also wound up being the closer song on the tracklist – a swirling summary of some of the varying styles and moods expressed throughout.

"'umbra' is defined as the fully shaded inner region of a shadow cast by an opaque object. this was an interesting one. i actually just pressed record & freestyled these lyrics. the words just flowed out of me. after listening back to it a bit after its creation, i realized the song was my inner most self realizing that i was going to break up with my girlfriend. 'i already gave every ounce of me, why aren’t we crossing the boundary?'"

Lyrics:
Not the hair! 
Please take my mind
Are you lost in thoughts like me?
Who’d have thought with all these thoughts,
We’ve not the faintest idea

No one reaches out 
Money, on your own
Running from the mouth 
Find a way to go

Yours with shiny brown eyes, I’m here 
In the mourning of your heart
Put a flower behind you ear
You’re a queen now
You’re a king now

Standing on your ground 
Melting to the floor
Don’t you want an out? 
Find a way to go

I already gave every ounce of me
I already gave every ounce of me
I already gave every ounce of me
Why aren’t we crossing the boundary?

I already gave every ounce of me
I already gave every ounce of me
I already gave every ounce of me
Why aren’t we crossing the boundary?
