Somewhat unknown beatmaker Placeholder, produces experimental electronic beats, influenced by future garage and deep house.

Placeholder’s productions typically comprise of pitch bent soulful vocal hooks over warm synth sounds and bass. The chopped and screwed vocals are arranged to sound melodic and compliment the beat.

The dude has yet to release a full album, having only released 2 tracks on soundcloud, and an EP in 2012 “Brothers”, as well as a track featuring on the “West In Dust” (2012) compilation.

The Brothers EP is an experimental deep house and future garage release, which illustrates the off pitch vocals and wonky synths over smooth beats. Lastly, the current tracks on the dude’s soundcloud are of an ambient nature suggesting an expected shift in style of production in his upcoming releases.

The homie’s tracks resemble that of old school hip-hop beatstrumentals, smoothly layered with synth sounds, giving it that new age, electronic feel. Joob also makes use of soulful vocals on top of these hip-hop influenced beats to create a unique, whilst familiar sound.

This style of beatmaship is evident in the following of Joob’s tracks:
