L.E.M creates electronic chill-out music using sounds that only exist in his dreams, making him a truly one-of-a-kind artist. If you’re in the mood to kick back and relax today, you have to check out his single, “Night Tapes.”
What started as a personal hobby is now something he’s been sharing with the world since last July. Somehow, his late-night inspirations turn into subconscious-driven melodies that hypnotize and pull you in.
Don’t just take my word for it, hit play below and experience it yourself.
Trippy Guitar Progressions Define His Signature Sound
In his dreams, the ethereal blends with the orchestral, and his love for experimenting inspires him to craft rich, colorful rhythms that go way beyond what we usually think of as electronic chill-out music.
One thing that almost always shows up in his tracks, though, is those trippy, psychedelic guitar progressions. That’s exactly what you’ll hear in “Night Tapes,” where subtle textures loop over and over until you can’t help but close your eyes, take a deep breath, and let all your worries melt away for a moment.
On top of that, “Night Tapes” features the soft harmony of a wooden flute, which smooths out the Lo-fi beats. It’s like stepping into another world, or maybe even a dreamscape.
And if you’re wondering why it’s called “Night Tapes,” it’s all about that vintage vibe, like listening to an old cassette recording from another time.
From Hip-Hop Roots to Dreamy Soundscapes
Clearly, for L.E.M, music is all about feelings. And you might not guess it from absorbing “Night Tapes,” but he comes from a solid Hip-Hop background.
Likewise, his journey into psychedelic guitars and Lo-fi beats began with a deep exploration of Pink Floyd’s soundscapes. Not to mention, he’s got live instruments flowing right into the sessions, giving his songs that organic essence that makes his instrumental pieces hit differently.
Of course, there’s more on the way! His new gem, “confluence” just dropped on Spotify, and you definitely want to give it a listen.
It’s as relaxing as “Night Tapes,” but with beautiful piano chords taking the spotlight.
