"In The Clouds" takes you on a journey through the digital realm, where the lines between reality and virtuality blur. The song opens with soothing guitar chords, delicately played by the skilled guitarist of Simplistic Scientists. The gentle strums set the stage for the introspective lyrics delivered by Buddah Abusah, whose smooth flow effortlessly weaves together metaphors of data and dreams.

As the track progresses, the experimentation on the Line 6 DL4 loop pedal becomes apparent. Simplistic Scientists push the boundaries of sound, layering loops and samples to create a rich tapestry of atmospheric textures.

The synergy between Simplistic Scientists' emotive guitar work and Buddah Abusah's thought-provoking verses creates a sonic experience that is both intellectually stimulating and emotionally captivating.

“THS THA KEY” is a remix of our upcoming track This Is The Key, flipped through the new Akai CD3000XL and twisted into something else entirely. YuhTypeBeatz dropped in that OG hip hop vibe, and inactivity helped pull it into a different lane.

There’s an instrumental version too though, yeah, the backing vocals didn’t feel like leaving. Kinda ghostly, kinda funny, still works.

Album art’s just a giant weed leaf. Felt right.

This one’s for you. The full song (This Is The Key) will be out soon... consider this the hazy preview.

JPDL - Existential Records

South West’s JPDL is back with the release of his new EP, Existential Records. Since hooking up with Scope Music Management, JPDL’s success as a live performer, and in record, has gone from strength to strength. Recently supporting Four Owls at Drunken Masters to a sold out crowd and being named in the recent Wychwood Festival line up, JPDL is establishing himself as a stand-out performer in the world of UK hip hop and spoken word.

Now, we see the release of Existential Records, a six-track showcase featuring cuts produced by Contribe, Sketchster and Prozac. Opener Melodies of a Heatwave fits right in with the summery weather we’re having in the UK, and has the requisite hot vibe. JPDL’s flow is in full force here, as he bends his rhymes around Contribe’s beats. Mic D adds in additional words perfectly. Sit back and drift off as Existential Records begins. The same team bring you Red Eyes, a tribute to the herb and its creative possibilities. JP…’s style draws you into his worldview, where things might seem free and easy, but have layers of complexity and artistry.

Things step up on Opus, where the frenetic rhyme scheme bring to mind old skool names like Lewis Parker and First Down. Prozac’s beats are easy and relaxed, as JPDL goes in, explaining just what he is about. That’s the importance of standing out and doing your own thing, as he explains further on Sketchster’s Do What You Feel (Never Follow). Surrounded by jazzy samples and subtle drums, the MC makes a point for independence and solidarity.

Next up is Discs Get Spun, produced by Prozac, and featuring Moorish. It’s party night as JP...and Moorish let you know how they get down. Fun, funky and flowing, this is a fresh and different take on hip hop, complete with soul. Closer Tongue Tied rounds things out perfectly, with both JPDL and Mic D doing what they do best, guiding listeners through their creative process. Sketchster gives us a great scratch section to tie the track together.

Where indietronica meets the edges of experimental electronic and downtempo. This isn’t just sound—it’s a living, breathing experiment. Electric guitars twist into loops, synths pulse like thoughts, and samplers crack open new worlds.

Armed with a Line 6 DL4 sampler and a passion for experimentation, Simplistic Scientists transform the guitar into a portal to otherworldly dimensions. Through intricate sampling and live manipulation, they conjure ambient textures, ethereal tones, and intricate loops, elevating the collective's sound into uncharted territories.
