Niles Philips makes a triumphant return with his latest offering, a captivating five-track release titled Shadow of the Observer. This unique downtempo project showcases five immersive tracks, each brimming with extraordinary warmth, mesmerizing grooves, and enchanting melodies.

The journey begins with "Lunatics Galore" a track that exudes refreshing downtempo coolness while seamlessly integrating funky elements. Its melodic structure elevates the listener, all set against a backdrop of rich, warm grooves. Following this, "Shared Silence" unfolds with a nostalgic piano melody, where smooth breakbeats weave a compelling narrative, harmonizing beautifully with the soothing vocals of Laila Vox.

Next, "Acting Freaky" takes the listener deeper into a heavier downtempo groove, infused with a dark trip-hop essence. Here, Laila Vox's warm and deep vocals once again add a layer of intrigue and emotion. The self-titled track "Shadow of the Observer" brings forth a robust downtempo groove, featuring a dub-heavy bassline that evokes the vintage lounge vibes reminiscent of the golden era of the 2000s.

Culminating the experience, the closing track "Drunken Mantis" immerses us in a mystical eastern-ethnic groove, inviting listeners on a mythical and spontaneous adventure. This release is a testament to Niles Philips' artistic vision, offering a rich tapestry of sound that resonates with everyone.
