The 1. Hailing from Lynchburg, Virginia, and currently based in Long Beach, California, LAKIM has steadily made a name for himself in the electronic scene. Bridging the gap between dance and hip-hop with style and finesse, his sound is an ever-shifting blend of crisp drum patterns, dreamy synths, and lush vocal chops. Following several years of independently self-released projects, LAKIM made waves in 2012 when his stellar remixing skills caught the attention of the renowned forward-thinking beat collective, Soulection. His introductory EP for the label, “Esoteric”, was released in 2012. Following its debut, the label executives wrote in a press release that the body of work “not only displays his growth as an artist but also implements his signature style of chopping dusty soul records into the undeniable form of bass music that has been dominating the world’s sound of tomorrow.”.
