“Beneath The Leylandii”, the inaugural album from enigmatic duo Badwizad, emerges as a masterclass in genre-blurring electronica, released via his self-founded Badwizad Records. Spanning nine tracks, the record melds downtempo psychedelia with organic, groove-laden textures, anchored by hypnotic rhythms, funk-tinged guitar riffs, and a kaleidoscope of sonic flourishes. Evoking the cerebral ambience of “Dark Side Of The Moon” and the eclectic futurism of “Plastic Beach”, Badwizad channels a lineage of boundary-pushing acts while nodding to modern trailblazers like Bonobo and Bicep. The result is a richly layered tapestry that feels both nostalgic and forward-thinking, balancing earthy warmth with cosmic exploration. Each composition unfolds like a vignette, inviting listeners into a meditative yet rhythmically charged world where melody and atmosphere coalesce seamlessly.

Premiered here, “Rah La Calima (It’s A Trip)” epitomizes the album’s ethos, blending trippy Acid-House undertones with progressive, heady momentum. Its pulsing bassline and swirling synths evoke the raw energy of early rave warm-ups, yet feel refreshingly contemporary. Badwizad’s meticulous craftsmanship shines here, layering tension and release with a producer’s precision and a storyteller’s flair. Throughout the album, contrasts – organic vs. electronic, introspection vs. euphoria – collide gracefully, cementing the album as a cohesive journey rather than a mere collection of tracks. A bold debut, it positions Badwizad as both a student of sonic history and an architect of immersive new realms.

Taken from "Badwizad - Beneath The Leylandii (Badwizad Records)". Out March 26th 2025. 

Dive into the lush sonic exploration of Beneath The Leylandii, the debut album from Badwizad, out this year on his own imprint - Badwizad Records. This nine-tracker presents a journey that merges downtempo psychedelic electronica with earthy grooves, weaving hypnotic percussion, funky guitar licks, and various other influences into a whole that is more than the sum of the parts. Drawing inspiration from iconic works like Dark Side of the Moon and Plastic Beach, as well as contemporary pioneers Bonobo and Bicep, Badwizad crafts a sound that’s as timeless as it is transportive.
The album takes listeners on a shapeshifting voyage, from the outback allure of "Kundalini" to the funky, heady vibes of "Rah La Calima (It's A Trip)." "Yunger Dryas" and "El Serpentino" set a tone more bedded in rhythmic loops, with their intricate arrangements, while tracks like "Simulata" and "Telepathic Elephants" push minimized boundaries with experimental textures and left back vibes. The entire record hums with a mystical, earth-inspired energy that makes it feel equally at home in a candlelit den or an open-air festival.
Beneath The Leylandii delivers a mind-expanding blend of soundscapes and irresistible grooves. Badwizad invites you to step into their world—press play, let go, and drift beneath the trees.
