Kartik Sudhera Delivers A Heady Selection Of Textural Lo-Fi And Broken Beat On New EP ‘DROPLYTES’

20 January 2022

Ludhiana-based producer Kartik Sudhera shared his newest beat tape titled ‘DROPLYTES’ earlier this week.

Beyond its glitchy video game music flips (‘U.A_MEDIC?’, ‘GRDNS’) and blissed-out instrumentals (‘WAITN4GOODTYMES’, ‘_ROSES), the collection delivers a high-octane danceable energy with its broken beat textures and staggered percussion ‘(BRWNPAPER’, ‘ALL_$$$’).

Old school beats and cloud rap elements are rather common to most hip-hop beat tapes. Here too, there are references to the styles of J Dilla, Madlib and Knxwledge. However, Kadhera’s most inventive flips use material from current chart dominators like Future and Lil Baby (‘CHAINON_, MI_MAMACITA), stretching them out to give the songs an entirely new feel. The producer gradually builds the listener’s ear for broken beat before closing out with a skittering onslaught of drums on ‘KEEPKOLD[ASFKK]_.b’.
