about
Manchester based producer Fthmlss showcases a further insight into his forthcoming ‘Anxious’ EP on Folded Music in the shape of new single ‘Heart Attack’.
The EP has an overarching theme of mental health with the record is made up of two halves - one meditative and relaxed, the other agitated and morose, displaying a spectrum of emotion through six new tracks.
‘Heart Attack’ sees him team up with vocalist Christie for a frantic and affecting adrenaline rush of a production. The producer deviates from his hip hop sensibilities to turn out a rushing footwork inspired slice of electronica. The lofi aesthetics that are an essential part of his sonic arsenal are all still present throughout but the tempo is significantly out of his usual comfort zone as he conjures up audio reminiscent of the likes of Burial and DJ Rashad.
Taking pride in creating intricate, emotive and highly conceptual compositions that sit worlds away artistically from the everyday study beats that lofi music has become synonymous with, Fthmlss shows us that he is not caged by genre or style and that his palette runs deep when creating. .
After an introduction to Folded by his friend and fellow beat maker Catch92, Fthmlss immediately impressed with his expansive tracks. Support from Huey Morgan on BBC 6Music followed soon after as he featured in label head - Asta Hiroki’s Introspective Guest Mix for Mental Health Awareness Week - the spot couldn’t be more appropriate given the themes of his new EP.
Fthmlss has steadily built a name for himself stitching together curious beats that traverse lofi, downtempo and hip hop styles. Working with established labels including Village Live, Aviary Bridge, and Atlantic Chill, he has become a staple of Hip Hop and Beats Spotify Editorial playlists and his unique productions are always musically rich tapestries of real quality
