Music

Mellow, chord-heavy, textured, never harsh... then a minute and a half in, the craziest drum fill you've heard, and you're back in the pocket wondering what happened.

Where this comes from

A listening trail. Start anywhere.

  • J Dilla

    The drag behind the beat. Everything here is late on purpose.

  • Robert Glasper

    Chords from church, played like a producer.

  • D'Angelo

    Voodoo taught the pocket to breathe.

  • Gospel

    Where the fills come from. Sunday morning drummers do not play safe.
