about
With drumline level snare patterns, PUFF.magic begins her latest single, “Elements Of Style.” After its minimalist exposition, this rapid fire jungle track evolves into a seamless solution of liquid-metal. Sporadic vocal samples float on the outside before cutting through the center as the drums and bass provide a mobile canvas wherein colorful synths distort the boundaries between audio and visual.
PUFF.magic was producing leftfield bass music way before it was cool. Now that it is cool, the world is waking up to their undeniable talent for manipulating rhythms that are heavy, yet fast-paced. To harness that contrast is to traverse dangerous terrain in the sonic realm of electronic music.
PUFF.magic has been deep in that dangerous terrain for years, trying their hand at juke, footwork, and breakbeat among other styles, and yielding seriously impressive results. They’re coming off a joint release with Hypesteria for LA’s Black Marble Collective, their jazz-infused debut EP, Soul Antics, and they are now commencing the catalog for another forward thinking outfit in LA: Lots Of Practice.
All proceeds from this release will go towards EQ50 until the end of 2021, with PUFF.magic's portion continuing until International Women's Day on March 8 2022.
