DJ Righteous

DJ Righteous delves into deep cuts and heavy beats on the blissed-out “Beatstradamus”. The hypnotic nature of the grooves results in a trance-like state where the sound evolves in lush all-encompassing ways. Stylistically the beat-work incorporates elements of lo-fi hip-hop, trap, house, and Latin pop into a cohesive whole. Flow matters a great deal for DJ Righteous ensures that every track plays off the last resulting in this psychedelic mix, as the multi-faceted, multi-layered approach is easy to get lost in. Clearly drawing from J Dilla’s and Brainfeeder Records’ unique take, he sculpts a sound that feels distinctly his own.

Warped, woozy lounge gets stretched out into the infinite on the stately stride of “Weather The Storm”. Edit jump with glee on the strangely soothing scope of “Trouble Maker”. Nods to jazz emerge on the soulful “For The Culture” as he drenches the sound in so much sunshine. Piano riffs intermingle as the nimble “Show Stopper” reveals a gentler side to his rhythms. Elements of Prefuse 73 come into the fray as “Midnight Special” has a low-slung funkiness to it. By far the highlight of the album “Tea Or Tequila” features impeccable taste as the beat jumps with a tactile quality, as the bass has just the right subtle approach. With “Messadani” the usage of a vocal sample further adds to the celebratory spirit. A laid-back smoothness closes the album off with the soul of “Afro Puff”.
