DEV 001EP
|
Denver's Gila debuts on Benji B's Deviation Music with Pick Six EP. Building on the territory explored on Genkidama EP (XLT 774EP, 2016), Pick Six EP sees Gila continue to toy with hard-body US rap production techniques and sound palettes. From the sino tones of fluttery opener "Swirl Suit" to booming, 808 heaters like title-track "Pick Six", this is an EP redefines the boundaries of rap-inspired club music. Gila plays with atmosphere too, none more so on ghoulish and pensive "Psycho Dabber" or the rippling "Frost On Leaf", spotlighting a deftness in and around the rougher edges of his work.

XLT 774EP

Denver-based Gila's background as a jazz drummer as well as his involvement as one-half of hip hop duo Gorgeous Children, has helped him approach electronic music from a different angle. "I'm stylistically indebted to hip hop and I think it's at the core of all my songs, but I'm equally interested in pulling inspiration from industrial sounds and nature," he explains. "When I set out to make a song, I let the textures and rhythms dictate what it should become, rather than pursuing a specific genre or style."
