"Interstellar Calm" blends the quiet vastness of the cosmos with the subtle crackle of analog noise, creating a meditative hip-hop groove that feels weightless. Imagine drifting through zero gravity, guided by faint starlight far beyond. A soft, heartbeat-like kick warmly fills the air, while the textured hiss evokes both nostalgia and warmth. By sampling fragments from jazz and spiritual sources, it merges the raw energy of hip-hop with the serene stillness of distant galaxies. Let the rhythms free you from everyday clamor, inviting introspection in each pulsating moment. Like whispers from a far-off galaxy, its tranquil chord washes and velvety low end open a portal named "Interstellar Calm," bridging skyward dreams and the listener's inner universe.
Zakio is a Tokyo-based trackmaker and designer specializing in Hip Hop. In his youth, he worked at the iconic DMR record store in Udagawacho Shibuya, where he immersed himself in the underground hip hop and DJ culture of the 1990s. Just steps away from Guinness Records, run by the legendary Nujabes, Zakio's time in that environment shaped his unique style, which continues to inspire his work today. He began his DJ career in the 2000s, diving deep into soul, disco, and funk as sampling sources, and his passion for these genres is reflected in his tracks. Beyond the confines of LoFi Hip Hop, Zakio's music is marked by nostalgia and warmth while remaining rooted in the present. He continues to perform as a vinyl DJ, keeping the craft alive. Zakio's music captures the complexity of Tokyo, weaving together its many layers into a soundscape that connects the past with the future. His aim is to deliver simple yet profoundly emotional music to listeners worldwide.
