closer is Sepalot's soulful mosaic of beats and unity, where hip-hop grit meets human connection. The album blends sample-based production with classic songwriting -- like a sonic mosaic of warmth and groove. Lyrically "hippiesque," Sepalot explores natural beauty, unity, equality, and self-determination. Guest features shine: Blu delivers sharp lyricism, and Illa J surprises with soulful vocals on "My Own Way." For fans of The Avalanches, Caribou, and Madlib. closer is lush, human, and unforgettable. Sepalot is one of those rare artists whose sonic palette refuses to be boxed in. His music exists in the fertile space between multi-layered sophistication and playful unpredictability -- a quality rooted in his eclectic upbringing. From skate-punk beginnings to soul all-nighters, from obsessive vinyl digging to deep immersion in hip-hop's golden era, Sepalot has carried the art of sampling like a badge of honor. His beats are mosaics -- meticulously pieced together fragments of sound forming an intricate whole. Beyond the studio, he's explored these influences as DJ, producer, and live performer, leading the Sepalot Quartet across Europe's jazz festivals, and more recently with his experimental band Tikhet alongside Angela Aux.

Lo-fi was rather an involuntary attribute in the '90s. '90s hip-hop instrumentals with the sound aesthetics of old 12-bit samplers are the blueprint for everything that runs under chill and lo-fi beats today. For this double-LP, Sepalot dug deep into his demo box, listened to countless DAT cassettes and dug up 36 pearls from the period 1996-2002. Sepalot: "I had to laugh a lot at times and was sometimes embarrassed, but the innocence of the early days also has an insane power. The best beats demos and sketches from my early days now get their moment." Old demos from DAT tapes.
