Ltd Edition Gatefold Translucent Pink Vinyl 2xLP Experimental, Downbeat Electronica / Electro
Shlohmo is acclaimed electronic producer, designer and composer Henry Laufer, a staple in the independent Los Angeles music scene since the release of his seminal Bad Vibes LP in 2011. His high profile collaborations with artists like Chance The Rapper, Jeremih, Joji and others as well as the Wedidit Collective (RL Grime, Ryan Hemsworth, D33J etc) in which he founded has and roots in the Low End Theory movement brought him international acclaim and a cult-like following clammering for The End, his third full-length and first since 2015. “The album is vaguely about the end of the world, but from the viewpoint of smoking on the couch during the extinction event. Reading a nice book while the meteor hits. The fake peace of insularity during chaos,” he says about his new record. Dread and angst and an eery sense of calm merge together to create something truly special as this one of a kind artist takes his next step forward into his unique genre-defying depths.

Last FM Information on Shlohmo
Please note the information is done on a artist keyword match and data is provided by LastFM.
L.A. native Henry Laufer, the 30-year-old producer better known as Shlohmo, is a lo-fi beat junkie and field-recording enthusiast, whose crackling, low-BPM compositions update Boards of Canada's filmstrip-soundtrack wooziness.
An LA native, Laufer grew up listening to "stuff like DJ Shadow, Amon Tobin, M83 stuff with some sort of cinematic vision." He started making beats when he was 14, but "didn't really do it with any sort of purpose until [he] was like 17 or 18. That was also around the time he and his friends, already fans of Flying Lotus, discovered Low End Theory. Shlohmo has rocketed onto our radar screen in recent months with his lo-fi, psychedelic mix of abstract hip-hop, bouncy synth-funk, breezy trip-hop, and what sounds like lost Mo' Wax gems from an alternate future.
His tracks swarm from dirty textures, strange sounds and obscured samples. It's not hip-hop what you hear, but the echoes are clearly there.
He also part-runs the WEDIDIT Collective.
His Shlo-fi EP is available for free download at Error Broadcast label website.
In 2011, Laufer released a full length LP called "Bad Vibes", which was drenched in the obscure sounds as his first EP. However, it was evident that Laufer refined his sound and created a more atmospheric environment for his listeners. The tracks have a more definitive beat and rhythm as well as barely audible sounds which become the center of the track itself. Most reviews of "Bad Vibes" have raved about how this young, talented DJ is really making a mark in this genre whilst finding his own sound simultaneously. Read more on Last.fm.
