The sonic mood has been created to mirror that of the painting as seen through the eyes and ears of the System. Of course others might […]

Dope return with a bubbling, dirty, down tempo slice of groovaliscous jazzy rare groove. The usual brass riffs, organ and Rhodes fill the void created by a tight loop enabled by a swinging bass line. This feels like its been lifted straight out of the back catalogue of a hipster Jazz label riding the vibes

Kind of Dope return to their more familiar territory of a mid tempo groovy slice of loop based, retro styled, rare groove ‘acid’ Jazz. Trumpets, Rhodes and Vibes laying the sonic foundations. Its a kind of chill out for jazz heads. One to sip a martini to while hanging out at the hippest joint in

Bit of a diversion for Dope. Being led by guitar in a deeply moody down tempo slice of ‘Spanish’ modal sonics. Ultimately the vibes and brass of Kind of Dope add their own mood briefly along with some Rhodes. Laid over a more fusion based rhythm section loop arrangement this sets Dope Guitar a way

Freeform doodling while chillin’ on the sun drenched bleached beach. The bass lays down the minimalist back bone to the lazy hip hop groove while the Fender Rhodes jazz man doodles to his hearts content. Nothing else to do but to jam without concern. KooLr know the art to the chilled out LoFi jazzy slice
