This latest track is called "Hyphy Nature". It was inspired by both the Nature around the Bay Area, and growing up during the Hyphy Movement. For those who aren't familiar, the Hyphy Movement was a musical style of Hip Hop that originated in the Bay Area and consisted of hard beats at a tempo around 100 BPM, with very high energy drums and beats. In high school and beyond,  listening to artists like Mac Dre, too sure, Mr. FAB, the Pack, and others boldy represent this part of California became huge source of pride for me, as it did for many of the youth growing up here. It felt like I was collectively part of something special, and the energy and pride from that era still radiates through the bay area heavily. I personally was especially inspired by the underlying beats of the music, pioneered by producers like Trackademicks, EA Ski,  Rick Rock, and especially Traxamillion( Who tragically passed away last year). 

Being born in Brazil, and having parents from different European countries, I always felt like a bit of an outsider when I was young. All of my music, movie, and cultural references seemed different than those around me. So having the hyphy movement pop off as I was in high school and into hip-hop production, it felt so fun to connect with other youth around it, and led me to feel like I was connected to something bigger. It led me to feel very proud to be from the bay area. I feel so lucky to have been a part of that, and I'll hold San Francisco and the Bay Area in my heart closely forever. I'm grateful for this special influence that will forever be a part of the sound of HABITAAT.

Another big point of interest for me growing up was being connected to the specific nature around this area. I grew up as a city kid through and through, but any access I had to get into nature I was super enthusiastic about. I joined all the nature clubs of my public inner city high school, and I even became a youth ambassador for the conservation organizations. The melodic elements of the song represent the feelings I would get visiting places like the Marin Headlands, Lands end, or Golden Gate Park. I could not get enough, and that passion for conservation and connection to nature continued as a thread throughout my life to this day.  

So this track is a tribute to those two influences from the Bay Area, the Hyphy music, and the Northern California nature.

On the album: 'Lucid Living' is a vibrant and immersive journey through psychedelic bass and downtempo. In contrast to Entangled Mind's debut album, 'Eternal Motion' (2021), a more introspective and melancholic work, this latest offering explores new territory with confidence, finding the joy in moving through a dynamic experience of intricacies and peculiarities.

At the heart of 'Lucid Living' lies a harmonious fusion of organic instrumentation and top-notch electronic production and sound design, as well as a notable emphasis on collaboration. Entangled Mind themself plays guitar, synths, handpan, bass, djembe, and shakers, as well as plentiful field recordings, making for a very personal soundscape. Further pushing possibilities through synergy with collaborators, and tapping in on additional musicians for features (listed below), each song is thoughtfully composed and differentiates itself from the last, while still flowing together as a fulfilling and cohesive experience.

Embracing entropy and a limitless nature, the album serves as a testament to the boundless creativity and expressive potential, and embodies what it means to live more lucidly in this ever-evolving world that we’re all entangled in.

The southern battle-waxer Gaddy continues to spearhead his brand of hip-hop fusion in Tabernacle Takeover. This fully packed EP wraps up brazen low-end and broken rhythms into a stereophonic one-inch-punch. 

Bass lines slice in and out of the beat in tandem with tight, bright percussion skittering across the stereo space. Each song slides into place across the album like a smooth lattice, ramping up in groove, swagger, and intensity from start to finish, channeling the vibe of late night L-rides and the stirred silica blowing off of city sidewalks. 

There's no substitute for being in the pocket, and Gaddy has a firm monopoly on pocketed rhythms across the hip-hop spectrum.
