Kritis

I started my journey in 1998, drawn to the rawness of 90s hip hop and the power of dusty loops and deep grooves. I produce beats that channel my passion for psychedelic rock, jazz, blues, and even cinematic soundtracks. Beyond beats, I create sample packs, loops, and drum kits that reflect my signature dark aesthetic.

I play both guitar (classic, acoustic and electric) and keys, blending these instruments into my productions for a more organic, layered feel.

I use FL Studio as my main production tool. It’s my creative playground where I shape my sound and bring ideas to life. For loops, drum kits, and sample packs, I also rely on meticulous layering and sound design techniques to achieve that gritty, raw vibe. I also use Ableton Live as my second DAW of choice.

I use the Akai MPD218 and Akai MPK Mini to lay down beats and melodies, an AKG mic for recording, and KRK Rokit 8 studio monitors to ensure every detail is heard and polished.

Currently, I’m spinning a lot of underground hip hop and experimental dark sounds. I listen to all projects related to the Soul Assassins and the Alchemist. I’m always digging for new artists pushing boundaries.

Some of my all-time favorite albums include Wu-Tang Clan – Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), Mobb Deep - The Infamous & Hell on Earth, and every Cypress Hill album. These records taught me about layering emotion, grit, and storytelling into every beat I make.

I’m deeply influenced by 90s hip hop legends like Wu-Tang Clan, and Cypress Hill. I also draw inspiration from dusty loops, dark hip hop, psychedelic rock, jazz, blues, and even soundtrack music. These genres shape the complexity and moodiness of my beats.

My music is dark, gritty, and raw—pulling from old-school hip hop while blending modern trap and drill. Think moody boom bap with cinematic overtones, akin to the grittiness and the atmospheric darkness of a 90s album production. It’s music for those who love storytelling through sound.

When I’m not making music, I dive into other creative outlets to keep the inspiration alive. I also play video games (huge fan of the Assassin's Creed franchise).
