Moonlight is exactly the kind of low key gem you expect to find on Bandcamp with enough browsing around: instrumental hip-hop isn't exactly a high profile genre to begin with, and the jazzier, almost vaporwave avenues are even less prominent than that. Enter Vanilla, a bedroom producer / beatmaker from the U.K. who has a marvelous knack for said style. Creative and liberal use of samples aside, he's got a very chill compositional sense rivaled by the best beat producers in the hip-hop world, and that's not light praise. I'm as picky with my beats as I am with my mocha-latttecinno-machiato-double-shots-with-caramel at the local hipter coffeehouse I frequent.
These 19 tracks are really meant to just wash over you and carry you to the top of Mt. Everest and back, but I love the melodies in 'The Love' and the 7-minute piano drenched 'Visions', which is worth the purchase of this album in and of itself. But hey, there's something for everyone here. Relax and enjoy the ride...
