Amine Laje is a multi faceted producer. In fact you might better know him as Romain Poncet or Traumer...

Under this new moniker he is keen to explore some of his foremost influences, drawing upon inspiration from the heady days of Trip-Hop and channeling his production credentials into a new sound.

For his first-ever published mix as Amine Laje, Romain Poncet crafts a deeply immersive journey through jazz-infused beats, melancholic textures, and raw, intuitive soundscapes.

The mix showcases a lot of unreleased songs that were created for the restaurant Datsha in Paris, alongside some tracks from the eponymous album.

Best enjoyed in a cozy setting, with warm lighting—let yourself get lost in the sound.

This one goes deep.
