Today the computer screens have replaced the candles. Warm Flicker sentimentally looks back to real life moments when the flame of a candle and a good friend by your side had been enough to make you feel at home in the world. One of the samples contains the shout out “Keep it warm flicker” which lead us to the main topic of the track. „From the moody textures, jazzy chords, and lively drum grooves, rocomoco sure delivers the goods in high quantities.“ (The Word is Bond ) It is inspired by the vibe of Nineties music from Kruder and Dorfmeister, Rockers Hifi or Guru’s Jazzmatazz and you will hear the crunch and the dust of nowadays lofi hip hop productions.

Music, in general, has the power to evoke memories and dusty lofi hip hop beats are their go-to retreats. But chilled beats can be more than just background noise. Lofi beats are often seen as functional music to relax, focus and chill only. Into the Blue has been our leitmotif and the tracks have been our constant companions, like pages in a personal diary. Creating beats and forming tracks became our way to escape from the daily needs and worries in 2020 when we wrote the album.

All addressed, acknowledged and allowed to slip away into their night’s air to be resolved at another point when the rhythmic tones of the DJ in the corner are pulling you onto the dance floor. The dusty lo-fi hip hop tunes provide the canvas for the broad brushstrokes of casual conversation: revolution, politics and socio-economic statuses. Creating the album required an important dose of inspiration and motivation to stay on top of things in the following long period of lockdowns and social distancing caused by the pandemic dangers.Ī crowded room, illuminated by dimmed lights and the casual buzz of the symbiotic exchange of ideas. The album was inspired by rocomoco attending “The Big Chill” event in New York in March 2020.
