Shlomo, aka Henry Laufer’s Shlomoshun Deluxe, is a collection of low-fi sounds that were literally downloaded onto his laptop and were molded into a hypnotic wall of bass and dub. The album is truly organic in its creation – it is ballsy in its layers of complex ambiance, such as the track, Hotboxing the Cockpit, which is the albums strongest arrangement. The title alone, however, alludes to a green, leafy substance that may ultimately allow the listener to absorb the album in a more suitable state.
Tracks worth listening to include, 7am, which takes you deep into a video game world, and transcends best on headphones, and Spoons, a fierce pounding of bass rhythms that will make any listener’s head bob. Antigravity is also a groovy little number, which showcases the current happenings in the LA beatbox scene among other neu-bass contemporaries like Flying Lotus and Ras G.
The album also includes remixes of Antigravity, by Fulgeance and Low Limit, which are quite enjoyable takes on the tracks.
