Luuk Graham, The Hague native drops his second release with Lowriders Recordings. After his recent remixes, a beattape and some digi releases finally the Poly EP is ready for the public ear. The sound has grown in depth and strength. Inspired by UK bass and dirty south hip hop scene, he fits in the hip trap/bass culture with his more uptempo tracks but as easily links to the more head-hop in the likes off Shlohmo.
His sound is very much 8bit – commodore infected blent of hip hop, skweee, bass and retro-futuristic-synth-science. Its boiled down minimalistic aproach to his tracks reminisces early Plastikman (Musik period) with a hip hop groove.
FilosofischeStilte takes you into an unknown minimalistic world graced with beautiful detailing.
HighonBeats: FilosofischeStilte skips the usual clichés of the trap game and delivers with an original sound without falling into pretention. These tunes feel like they would work equally well on the dance floor or in headphones walking down the street on a rainy day.
Lockah: Enjoying the vibe overall but definitely feeling it more as a spooky/chill release for listening… That echoey Evian Christ feel throughout. Cool EP, fave original track is 'Even My Mobilephone Is Gold' and the Hitmane remix, plan on spinning both these.
Nightwave: Nice and interesting record, most stuff is a bit too slow for me to play out though sadly. Hitmane Remix is my favourite and will definitely play that!
Jay Scarlett: Space gold swag is the heat!
Julien Mier: brilliant progressive and minimalistic work-out, doesn't follow the trap hype, yet it's characteristic style is definitely 2013.
DJ Cam: Great EP! Really nice mix of styles all tied together with FilosofischeStilte's unique sonic palate.
Kidkanevil: crazy beats, good fun!
Eclectro: Nice one! I especially love light years away. It has an anthem-alike vibe.
Kelpe: This is great stuff, nice sounds and space in the mix. Especially like the remix of Gold Dust!
Warlock: Flood is such a dark track, love it!
Donky Pitch dj's: digging the alien sounds on gold dust and the dark vibe on flood, looking forward to playing them all up loud. big up.
Oneone: nice release again, FilosofischeStilte is on point and i really like the remixes too!
Rogier from Fremdtunes: Definitely like this one!
Ferdi from ShipWrec: Beautifull sound!! Light Years Away and Flood are so deep!
DEV79: really cool and interesting stuff, will give it some plays for sure!
