Light Work from La Villa by Stro Elliot

The easygoing ambience and tight drums of “Light Work” marked the beginnings of La Ville’s creation itself. “I heard the record and it just kind of jumped out of the speakers at me,” he recalls. “I was like, ‘OK, I know what this is.’ It spoke to the hip-hop aesthetic that I always gravitate towards. It was about finding a way to chop and rearrange it that felt unique while adding a groove to it. It sparked the whole project for me.”
