Description: The deep-rooted sound of ‘90s soul – analogue synths, hip-hop kits, and grooved-out basslines with a psychedelic touch.

MODERN SOUL
As we rolled into the new millennium, R&B experienced a major shift, spearheaded by artists like Erykah Badu, D’Angelo, J Dilla, and the wider Soulquarians collective. Sessions at Electric Lady Studios in Greenwich Village saw them dust off the vintage synths and kits of the previous two decades, pairing analog warmth and organic live sessions with modern sampling and production techniques. AQUARIUS EARTH takes up the palette of earthy tones, funk groove, hip-hop percussion and infectious melody that brought the soul back to the 90s and beyond.
AQUARIUS EARTH was created in collaboration with MSXII.
