FilosofischeStilte "Hairdoo VIP"

• Words: James Eaton
• Label: Lowriders Collective

The moniker of Dutch producer Luuk Graham, FilosofischeStilte, translates to "philosophical silence," an idea which the fledgling 18-year-old artist may not apply directly to his music but certainly seems to ponder throughout his five-track Gold Tooth EP. Productions like the steady "Hairdoo VIP" are heavy on the 8-bit aesthetic, but ultimately boast very few sounds; it's almost like Graham is trying to make a musical point by keeping things as simple as possible with both his arrangements and structure. FilosofischeStilte's new record is out now via Lowriders Collective.
