With that in mind, he’s shared his ten favourite records from the genre that have informed his EP, which comes out in full next week – and you can listen to the title cut underneath. “This record got me hooked on the genre and I started to investigate more about quiet storm records and how they often make use of synths and drum machines. Bobby Caldwell – ‘What You Won’t Do For Love’ The synth break starting at 3:27 was a direct influence for my ‘Body Electric’ EP in terms of sound aesthetics.” 2. “I rediscovered this gem a while ago in FlyLo’s amazing ‘Lovers Melt’ mix, one of the best soul records ever made I believe.

I absolutely recommend checking out the ‘Lovers Melt’ mix series as well!” 3. Smokey robinson – a quiet storm album listen series# “Obviously everybody loves this record, so just stating the obvious. The synth chords, bass and 808 beats are incredible and make this sound weirdly modern and classic at the same time.” 4. “I can listen to this over and over again, it’s simply genius. The beats (as used in Thundercat’s – ‘Them Changes’) are simple yet instantly recognisable in the way they are played. Same goes for the 2-tone bassline that builds the tension until it is released in the bliss of the chorus part.” 5. “Massive Michael McDonald fan here, I admit it. Hate to say they just don’t make them like this anymore dreamy, catchy and full of sensuality without leaning over to the cheesy side (too much!).” 6. Smokey robinson – a quiet storm album listen full# “It’s funny but some small elements can make songs great for me and I am really obsessed with the hi-hats in this tune. They kind of sound like they could be 606/707/727s, as are the bongos. Sade’s otherworldly vocal appearance and the silky chords form the epitome of smoothness!” 7. “So here’s the name-giving record to the (sub-)genre starting with this somewhat weird thrilling synth lead and white noise that introduces the (quiet) storm to come. The bassline and beautiful background choirs are building up to my favourite part of the song starting around 5:05 with the return of the lead sound, which could be a Moog. Tower Of Power – ‘Love’s Been Gone So Long’ The whole album is great, in particular the synth bassline on ‘Love Letters’!” 8.
