Garret Meyer, aka Atifakts, resembles a shaky machine when it comes to producing chilled out vibes in that all of his lush soundscapes deliver in consistency while always providing a new interesting element to explore. While he can sometimes be considered a hip hop producer, with strong underlying beats that push from start to finish his lacing is what makes for a lasting impression. Maybe his knack for producing solid melodies can be credited to the milk in his home state of Wisconsin?
One thing is for certain–Meyer never looses sight of infusing his music with a sense of funk through mixing hip hop beats with soul. For his newest gem, “Hang Tight”, he has decided to take listeners on an escape through a relaxed electric guitar riff that is layered with just the right amount of electronics, where warm textures range from a horn jive to a heavier pulsing synth section.
Any way Artifakts’ collection of songs are listened to, the best experience them comes from allowing oneself to get lost in his chill hop vibes.
