Why it's here

Los Angeles is woozy, sub-heavy instrumental hip-hop stretched into IDM-adjacent abstraction, laying out the vinyl-crackle, off-kilter aesthetic that became the foundational text of the LA beat scene. Its influence runs directly through a decade of Brainfeeder-adjacent producers who built on its template.
