Producer Riff Psyentifiks returns to Audius, sharing with platform users some of his latest beats. “Bayswater Hotel” opens as a hybrid of jazzy instrumentation with a garage foundation. This quickly takes a turn for the experimental, finding the intersection between a little funky and a little freaky. “Fantastic (fast version)” sounds vintage, produced with fuzzy and distant samples. Although it feels similar to a lo-fi beat, driving percussion and a twist of breakbeats gives “Fantastic” a taste of the club. Riff Psyentifiks creates tracks for the musically curious - for those that love to see conventional ideas broken and rearranged in a new vision.
