In case you missed our glowing review, Genre-Specific Xperience, the freshly released EP from Brooklyn’s Fatima Al Qadiri, is one special record. “Hip Hop Spa” leads off the five-track EP, and quickly establishes a serene, tropical vibe with its simple steel-drum melody and ghostly, new-age atmosphere. Hints of percussion and zooming synths begin to appear as the song progresses, but the proceedings remain mellow throughout, as “Hip Hop Spa” is a superbly crafted piece of chillout retro-futurism.
