about
Manchester-based producer Fthmlss teams up with frequent vocalist collaborator Christie on the gorgeous new neo soul/electronica cut - ‘Estuary’ via Asta Hiroki’s Folded Music imprint.
After first coming together for the heady juke-inspired track ‘Heart Attack’ on the producer’s Anxious EP from last year, they now showcase a new side of their creative partnership with smokey vocals over a relaxed hybrid arrangement.
Undeniably modern, with a knowing nod to the Bristol scene, the track fuses soul and electronica in an eastern-inspired palette. Lyrically ‘Estuary’ meditates on the path of water as a metaphor for life's journeys over a head-nodding groove that provides both instant and deep pleasures.
Having rapidly built a name for himself, stitching together curious and characterful productions that have readily caught the attention of Spotify and Apple Music Editorial playlists, as well as the heads in the alternative beats landscape. Fthmlss is a rare breed of producer that can move comfortably and cohesively between musical worlds with as many fans across electronic and dance styles as he does his first love - lofi and alternative hip hop.
Since joining Asta Hiroki’s Folded Music imprint with his EP ‘Anxious’, he has quickly gained even more high-profile fans across radio and press, including BBC 6Music, FIP, France Inter, Radio Eins, XLR8R, CLASH, Magnetic Mag, and College Music.
Continuously expressing a clear desire to grow his sound further and explore more conceptual work, unlike many producers in similar beat-based spheres, Fthmlss has readily taken in new sonic influences from a wide array of electronica, hip hop, and ambient styles of music and isn’t afraid to explore them with enthusiasm.
