about

Chasing Paper / Beautiful Things is the latest release from producer Blacksmif, real name Yemi.

Blacksmif's music is the result of a youth spent growing up in South London surrounded my a melting pot of music - from jazz, R&B and gospel initially through to garage, drum & bass and dubstep in his teens. Having previously focused on a producer role, on Chasing Paper and Beautiful Things Blacksmif provides vocals for the first time.

Both songs are surprisingly heartfelt. Chasing Paper is a collage of warm US House and IDM inspired sounds. A soft drum beat propels the track whilst layered synths create a warm duvet of sound. Blacksmif's vocals are delicately and honestly delivered, creating a dreamy soundscape.

Beautiful Things is more angular in feel. Slow dubstep-style rhythms punctuate the track as steel drums and oversized synth patterns create a contrasting sense of the clinical and organic.
