about

Astral Black are proud to present the debut release from London-based producer, Drae Da Skimask. At just 19-years old, Drae has already racked up production credits for some of the most exciting new hip-hop artists in both the UK & US (Piff Gang, Jesse James Solomon, Onoe Caponoe etc.). As a member of online production crew, Swisher Boys, Drae has built a dedicated following in the US Mid-West and since signing with the Elastic Artists agency at the start of 2015 - Drae has taken his individual brand of ‘Sewerside Phonk’ on tour throughout Western Europe, playing alongside the likes of Kahn & Neek, Hannah Faith (Soulection), Grems, Loom & more.

’95 Mindfulness’ (named after his year of birth), sees Drae secure his position as one of the most exciting producers at the forefront of hip-hop’s current new wave. Boasting 11 instrumental tracks, each demonstrating his finesse for twisted, lo-fi, rap productions. Heading up the release is ‘Coogi Sweater’ (premiered by Boiler Room), it’s slumped 808’s and ethereal rhodes serving as a mission statement for the rest of the EP. This vision is carried through to ‘Yamborghini Forever’, which sees a chopped up Juicy J acapella employed as a sporadic rhythmic element. ‘Operation Lockdown’ & ‘Why June’ showcase the young producers creative take on more traditional hip-hop production methods. Whilst tracks such as ‘Theta Wave’ & ‘Quest’ lean more towards the laid-back sound favoured by LA’s beat scene, proving that Drae isn’t afraid of experimenting with his music and hints at a future direction for his sound.
