Anytime a producer gets his start as a classically trained pianist, you know their production aesthetic will achieve towering heights. These artists have a knack for meticulously weaving melody driven facets into their tunes, creating tantalizing instrumentations packed with emotion and passion.
This is the case for Jamie Watts, aka KiloWatts, who is known for his master craftsmanship and hair-raising production. The Philadelphia-based is a fixture in the downtempo scene, and has been releasing contagious songs via the studio and on stage throughout countries across the world.

This album continues to highlight Watt’s ability to create majestic soundwaves, with addicting tracks that are crafted like an architect would build a house.
“Meanwhile in the Cerebellum Hotel” is a creative track that instantly enters any listener’s brain and sends their minds on an unconscious journey propelled by the songs gentle synth lines and effervescent background tones.
“End of the Year” opens up with dark piano chords that are as entrancing as they are magical, and then slowly adds layers onto itself to create an energetic track that will have its listeners gently bouncing with a smile on their face. This whole album seems to read like a book, and progresses as each note strikes till the story reaches its climax.
