Cloudchord (Derek VanScoten) is a producer, guitarist, and genre bending specialist that is augmenting musical possibility into reality with his remarkable technical skills. His refreshing takes on atmospheric dance music have solidified his place in the world of psychedelic chill hop beats.
 
VanScoten was inspired by pivotal live experiences leading him into jazz and classical guitar studies, while digging through the fertile left-of-center instrumental hip-hop. Born out of this aesthetic convergence, Cloudchord has established himself in the burgeoning lo-fi chillhop scene with his own blissfully hypnotic sonic alchemy. He’s since racked up 100 million total streams and won an Emmy for scoring on the documentary In Football We Trust, all while building his reputation with engaging live performances and an overflowing catalog of tunes.

Recent Press:

"Cloudchord has amazed with his atmospheric remixes of Big Gigantic, Savoy, Autograf, and more." -Run the Trap

When it comes to Cloudchord, you never know what's behind that play button. The US beat-maker & guitarist can swing you from an utter zen mode to the break-your-bones-dance-vibe with a snap of his fingers! - Stereofox

"Perfect for injecting some more energy into one’s day." -Dancing Astronaut

"CLOUDCHORD has developed a lightning-in-a-bottle sound as he precisely associates, and synthesizes separate genres with detailed production and skill."
-Beautiful Buzz

"The airy effervescent, spongy soft future pop is sublimely intoxicating.” -I Heart Moosiq

Ben Howard returns with his 4th album, Collections From The Whiteout, produced alongside Aaron Dessner (The National). The foreboding darkness that coated Ben’s second record I Forget Where We Were and thinly veiled its follow up Noonday Dream, isn’t so evident on Collections. These are songs written from headlines scanned, or news stories scrolled past, providing inspiration for a selection of vivid narrative snapshots – the death of amateur sailor Donald Crowhurst (Crowhurst’s Meme); Russian fraudster Anna Sorokin (Sorry Kid); the man who stole and crashed a plane in Seattle (The Strange Last Flight Of Richard Russell); and the dismembered body a friend of his father found in a suitcase floating along the Thames (Finders Keepers). Alongside them, the personal anecdotes from the same scattered period living between Paris, Devon and Spain. Yussef Dayes features, as does Kate Stables (This Is The Kit), James Krivchenia (Big Thief), Kyle Keegan (Hiss Golden Messenger), and Dessner. Thomas Bartlett, St. Vincent’s go-to pianist, and Rob Moose, a long-standing arranger of strings for Bon Iver, are also present. Long-term guitarist to Ben’s band, Mickey Smith (A Blaze of Feather), remains a reassuring constant. It’s a sonic adventure that continues this nagging suggestion that Ben is one of the UK’s most inventive and naturally talented songwriters. CFTW is his latest opus, and arguably his most fully realised to date.

Wyatt drinks a gallon of effervescent life each day
Six-foot-infiniti
One-hundred-and-perfection pounds
He misses nothing
Neither the minutiae of his goals
Nor the memories of past loves
He misses nothing
He is everything 

He lives in a never ending crescendo
Of utter consonance
Riding upon the fulcrum of jubilance
His circles are expansive and amoebic
His diction shrewd and subtle
His perspicacity is astonishing
Yet comes as no surprise
He works for neither compensation nor fulfillment
However he is exceptionally well-off

His weaknesses are the gold 
That backs the currency of his profound authenticity
Never wondering nor wandering in the playground of life
He is an architect of the landscape of human experience

Everything he wants, he manifests
Everything he needs, he already has
