Elsa Hewitt's Becoming Real Trilogy Compilation I is comprised of 13 of the most popular tracks from her three albums of 2017: Cameras From Mars, Dum Spiro Spero and Peng Variations. From ambient, to hip hop, to downtempo, to lo-fi techno, garage and house, all shades of Hewitt's early days of diverse beatwork is represented. With a natural ear for texture, subtlety and rhythm, her personal yet scholarly approach to blending electronic production with many years of experience as a songwriter and lyricist is the magic potion that culminated in this unique and beautiful brand of music. The tracks selected for this compilation have been remixed and remastered initially to be optimized for vinyl pressing, celebrating an astounding year of productivity and success despite being a total newcomer to the professional music scene at the start of it. This body of work represents the start of a long and fruitful career that is well worth following.
