Been a fan of saaaz way before she took part in our Beat Queens compilation and this talented beatmaker just never ceases to amaze me.

Her new collab with Injijo "Close To Me" (released via DQBT Records) is instant goosebumps and it takes the best from a few of my favourite genres. It reminds me of the early Bonobo records (Black Sands to be precise), but also features soulful and beautifully chopped r&b vocals, all that wrapped in the perfect layer of lofi hip hop.

The 2 are releasing an album on July 25th, so stay tuned for more.
