Vanilla's beats are anything but. This master of rhythm and sample construction hails from the UK, crafting tracks with distinction and funkiness that reveal an assortment of flavors. Vanilla's Bandcamp-released albums have garnered hundreds of thousands of downloads and fans and earned him a wide-ranging fanbase. And his appearance on Cold Busted's Only On Vinyl 2 LP helped fuel it's 'instant sell-out' status. Now, Vanilla reveals Pointbreak, his debut EP for Cold Busted that brings together all the elements that confirm this rising producer as a true artist of beats. It's also the latest installment of the Jet Set series, showcasing sonic travels to exciting, soothing places. "Pointbreak" opens the EP with syncopated keys over a strutting rhythm, conveying the listener's arrival to an ultra-hip, neon-splattered hotel lobby. The leisure vibes continue with "Surfin' Summer," a soundtrack for cocktails on the beach while watching the boogie boards go by. "Remember" combines a phat break with loungey bossa nova, a reassuring timewarp to simpler days. The EP closes with "Breeze," finishing things on a jazzy, quiet storm tip that would make Lonnie Liston Smith swoon. Don't hesitate - transport yourself to Pointbreak.
