Nowcast

Fusing murky atmospheric ambience to hip-hop inspired beats the 'Nowcast' EP takes off in a stratospheric journey. 2% loops samples into vaporous drones creating a milky haze for his melodies to refract within then drops beats that land you back on solid ground. Additionally, tracks like 'Neaps' and 'Front' offer a beatless diversion that keep you lifted in this whirling, sun drenched horizon.

Trenton McElhinney, the name behind 2%, composed the entire 'Nowcast' EP on a Monome running a live sample-cutting platform. Using a modified version of MLR for Max/Msp, Trenton recorded tracks in single live takes and used minimal post processing.
