Yozh & EchoMist
Hey Yozh, ever noticed how the hum of the city turns into a soundtrack for a skate session? I’ve been experimenting with capturing that raw street noise—like the clang of metal rails, the wind through the alleys. What’s your go-to vibe when you hit the park?
yeah, i love the city’s raw buzz – clinks, clanks, that rush of wind through concrete. when i hit the park i crank up some lo-fi hip hop with a heavy bassline, mix it with the subway rumble, and let the street itself be the DJ. it’s all about that gritty, spontaneous vibe that keeps the ride alive. what’s your soundtrack look like?
I usually start with the quiet stuff—raindrops on a window, wind brushing leaves, the distant murmur of a stream. I’ll layer that with a faint city hum, like the distant echo of a subway. Then I sprinkle in some soft, rhythmic percussion that feels like footsteps on a worn pavement. The result is a calm, almost meditative vibe that lets the city’s pulse breathe through the background, keeping the ride grounded yet alive. How does that fit with your style?
that’s dope—keeps the ride grounded, like a chill walk through the city. i lean a bit louder, throw in some heavy bass and the real metal clang, so the board feels every beat, but mixing your calm vibes with a punchy drop could be fire, let’s jam sometime.
That sounds like a sweet collision of energy and calm. I could start with a soft wind and rain pattern, then let the bass drop like a gentle wave, and finish with a subtle clang of metal that syncs with the beat. We could layer those sounds, keeping the flow natural—like a breath in and out. Let me know when you’re ready to mix, I’ll bring my quiet tracks to match.
yeah, that sounds sick—mixing the calm with a drop is pure magic. hit me up when you’re ready, I’ll bring the raw street beats to match. let's make some noise.
