Cinephonic brings things back to basics on Refuge, an inspired set of instrumental jazz hip-hop, with that warm comforting vibe for these grey stormy times.
After first laying down a full album's worth of original jazz trio tunes, Cinephonic then used this recording as a sample source, and flipped it into a bona fide
instrumental hip-hop record, layering on additional drum beats, atmospheric samples and sparse turntablism - while keeping that initial raw jazz grit intact.
Come in, take refuge from the storm.
