When a lot of people are stuck somewhere without their music (your job, school, internship, w.e) we tend to start developing playlists in our head for when we're finally left alone with our ipod; all the songs we feel we just haven't gotten enough of lately begin to burn onto our brain until we're able to listen to them in peace.For me lately, one of Ahmi's new beats has been consistently on that list; for the past few days on my way home from work I've been bumping this track at least a few times on the commute, and I'll be honest, it seemed kind of weird to me that I've been having loop-mode jam sessions to this quick two-minute arrangement of soul sampling and skipping snare patterns.
But if we delve into it a bit it's quick to see that this is what most of Ahmi's work has comprised of so far; smooth, if not slightly simplistic beats that jump in and out of existence without any dramatic openings or endings, and while for me this has been partially part of the charm of this artist's beat-tapes, it would be exciting to see him delve into some more creative song structure.
But for now he seems content to keep rolling these little gems of trip-hop oriented, old-school tinged trillness; and I'm perfectly okay with this; as long as no one bothers me on the way home :)
