Slate Blue is the latest beat tape from Arizona-based beatmaker and self-proclaimed "Loop-Digga", el. With dazzling sample choices combined with hard-hitting drums, this 8-track offering is tightly wound and stays true to the "quality over quantity" theory.

The opening track, "Heavy", sets the tone immediately (prefaced with an audio clip from a popular 90's crime-drama film) and the Marv Krown assisted "Grey" closes the project on a high note that leaves the listener wanting more.

Overall, this is a short, yet fulfilling tape that begs the question: "what's next for the 31-year old beatmaker?"

With “Reel to Real”, producer JTEA @wh1998 celebrates his official debut release on the international label Flawless Delivery @flawless-delivery The track blends warm lo-fi textures, nostalgic tape aesthetics and gentle jazz harmonies into a sound that feels both timeless and deeply personal.

Known for crafting “eclectic frequencies for intense vibrations,” JTEA channels soulful atmospheres, subtle melodies and analog warmth into a quiet yet emotionally rich beat. “Reel to Real” captures the late-night intimacy of vinyl crackle, soft chords and a relaxed hip-hop groove — a sonic moment that invites reflection, calm and a sense of closeness.

As JTEA’s first release with Flawless Delivery, this track marks an important milestone and sets the tone for his future sound. It aligns seamlessly with contemporary jazzhop, chillhop and lo-fi landscapes, 
“Reel to Real” is not only an introduction — it’s a statement: the beginning of a journey defined by warmth, soul and intentional sound design.
