about

TROPICA+  

a reflection on summers gone by, swept away with the current.

an attempt to understand the ocean, not just as a body of water but as the source of all life.

a glimmer of hope.

and a reminder that if we can learn to respect this world we can make a change.

"When Zach first told me about his idea for TROPICA+, I was instantly excited. A collection of aquatically themed beats, drenched in vapor aesthetics with a splash of pop influence? How could you go wrong?

Originally the album was a solo project, but I very quickly decided I needed to be a part of the process and asked to climb aboard. Zach was excited to include my influence and that day we sat down in my living room and made what became the album's title track. Together, we also made Riptide and remixed an old track of ours (Trench.) On my own I produced the track ECCOsystem, while the rest of the tracks were composed by Zach in a very short period of time.

When I received all of his stems, I was absolutely ecstatic. I had an entire album of ideas blossoming in front of me. Beautiful melodies already begun, fresh for me to build upon. Beats for me to beef up with 808's and trap inspired drums. With the exception of two tracks (Reefdive & SONAR) I had the opportunity to compose levels on every track and eventually left my fingerprint on the project with the mixing and mastering process.

TROPICA+ was Zach's brainchild from the beginning and I was lucky to have the opportunity to be so heavily involved. The entire process took about 6 months from start to finish and we couldn't be happier with the final product. I speak for us both when I say that we achieved what we set to do from the beginning, and we hope you enjoy your dive!"
