Get ready for a silky smooth, sexy start to your Friday because casual low grind's new release will seriously make your jaw drop.

Tight drums, playful jazzy motifs, and bassline that knows no boundaries. Today's spotlight shines on Lab Progression - an innovative collaboration between talented bassist and producer Midan and the prodigious pianist Jammin Berries. The duo defies conventional norms, fusing the explosive energy of boom-bap with the soulful allure of jazz, resulting in an extraordinary sonic experience worth of anyone's time.

I had a chat with one of the creative forces behind casual low grind - Anton, and he shared the journey of the 2 talented artists. The single marks the release journey of their inaugural album which is meant to feel more like a conversation between friends than anything else. Surprisingly, despite their individual prowess as beatmakers, their collaboration exudes the essence of a cohesive band, owing to their profound musicality and boundless creativity harmoniously intertwined.

Inspired by jazz legends like Oscar Peterson and classical artists such as Bach, the duo passionately explores the fusion of lo-fi beats and effortlessly goes outside of the box.

I think we all need a breath of fresh air in the scene, and what they've done is exactly that.
