Nightmare by Bludwork

Debut public collection of smooth and sorrowful rhythm glides by Long Beach student / soul enthusiast Bludwork. Equal parts loose and lost, vibed and vulnerable, Nightmare traces six shades of sunset melancholia through intuitive innerspace house, inspired by gospel, southern rap, and rejection.

Since starting the project his final year of high school, Bludwork has honed his hardware configuration and emotional palette, arriving at a sensual fusion of midnight melody, muted bass, slippery percussion, oblique samples, and spare design. For music so rich and reflective it’s apt he credits family as formative, particularly the “beautiful chords that warm my heart from soul and gospel records my dad used to play when I was young.”
