Cholombian’s coalition of striking cinematic soundscapes and hip-hop inspired beats offers a warm, contemplative sonic tapestry, influenced by sources ranging from progressive black metal to the work of iconic composer Danny Elfman, via Aaliyah, TLC and Ciara.
His burgeoning body of work has already begun to capture imaginations, picking up airplay on BBC Radio 1 from the likes of B. Traits, Gilles Peterson and Rob Da Bank, the latter of whom proceeded to sign the producer to his latest label imprint, Silver Bear Recordings. Cholombian’s last EP, ‘Heart In The Right Place’, sold out within the space of three days, while his remix earlier this year of Mercury Prize winners alt-J’s ‘Bloodflood’ proved to be an online smash, notching up 25k plays in under a week of appearing online.
After an impressive 2013 – which included the honour of warming up Bestival’s main stage ahead of legendary Philadelphia outfit The Roots – he enters into the summer with a string of further festival dates lined-up and a tour in the works.
