Release date: July 9/21
With a sound reminiscent of DJ Shadow, Orbital, Massive Attack and The Orb, and having grown up in LA, as member of the group, Global Phlowtations, it's a pleasure today to welcome NY-based producer Thavius Beck with a premiere of 'Inner Space' off his new 18-track album on dutch label U-trax. A happy fusion between hip-hop beats, moody melodies, and deep drum-heavy techno vibes.

------------
20 years of beats production - with a techno edge.
Since the first contact of U-trax with NYC based producer Thavius Beck in 2018, he sent us over 100 unreleased tracks, or beats, as he calls them. 25 of them have been selected for releases on U-TRAX, good for over 2 hours of music, across one album and an EP.
The tracks vary in style a lot, but what they have in common is that they either are moody – in U-TRAX lingo: deep - or they are drum heavy. The common denominator would probably be ‘experimental/instrumental hip-hop’, reminiscent of producers like Flying Lotus.
People have tried all sorts of comparisons to pinpoint Thavius’ sound, ranging from ‘between DJ Shadow and Orbital’ and ‘a mix of Massive Attack and The Orb’. None of these are spot on, yet quite a few of these tracks feel like a happy marriage between hip-hop beats and techno sounds.
The stunning hand painted artwork for both releases was created by NYC artist Sfera Louis.
