Where This Body Goes, My Mind Flows.

London-based, Netherlands-born drummer and producer Creature. returns with the new EP 'Where This Body Goes, My Mind Flows'. Bringing together the rich culture of Dutch electronic music with the London jazz sound and traces of East Coast boom-bap, it's an expansive EP made for the jazz dancefloor.
Featuring atmospheric synth pads, crisp Dilla-esque hip-hop grooves, and drilling bass lines, plus the lyrical talents of MC Trifon, 'single 'AY-YO' caught the attention of WordPlay & Wonderland Magazine. Lead single 'Memphis Grit' also showed a different flavour, highlighting Creature's dexterity as a drummer via it's moody, broken beat soundscapes.

"The EP is a true reflection of my pool of influences, combined with my craziest drum ideas. What is exciting about this EP is that I truly started to find my own sound and process while making this and it holds a couple of true life lessons I've experienced over the course of a year. It's about self acceptance, letting go of outer judgement and following my own intuition. Simply said; finding myself."

'Where This Body Goes, My Mind Flows' is a project that expands upon Creatures' blend of crisp sampling, impactful synths and powerful 808s established on 2022 debut All Now, For Good. It's a reflection of the electronic music and hip-hop he grew up on, as well as the nu- jazz sounds of his adopted home of London. Tracks like 'AY-YO' see a 90's boom-bap hip-hop flow from MC Trifon evolve into expansive drum improvisation, whilst 'Against The Odds' adds a tasteful balance, bringing the tempo down into a spiralling 13/4 groove and dipping further into Creature's pool of collaborators. Trumpeter JSPHYNX, a mainstay of the UK jazz scene through his collaborations with Alfa Mist, features prominently, adding his distinctive dancing lines to the EP's sonic fabric.
