Following the success of his debut EP "Playground" on Onra's imprint,
Catblock Records, Parisian producer Häzel is back with The Lost Tapes, a
21 track beat opus compiled from his extensive catalog.
With
collaborations from Drake, Slakah the Beatchild and Ebrahim, The Lost
Tapes is far from a simple compilation of instrumentals and features;
it's an album in the truest sense of the word, crafted with painstaking
attention to detail. Longtime collaborator and friend Ebrahim selected,
arranged and mastered each track to blend seamlessly together, creating
an album deserving to be experienced in its entirety by the listener.
Combining punchy basslines with crisp snares and deep kicks, Hazel's
music gives a nod to the signature style of those who inspired and came
before him; hip hop producers who breathed soul into their sound. The
incredible artwork was conceived and developed by Mikael Columbu
(videographer & director for Bilal, The Weeknd, Cee-Lo, Onra &
more).
The Lost Tapes is our debut release.
