When you go crate digging, sometimes you come upon a strange record you’ve never seen or heard before, but after you play it for the first time, you know you’ve come across a well kept secret. Such is the case with the track “Waiting So Long” by Scotland’s Sam Gellaitry.
Sporting a very minimalist production that ranks with producers like Kaytranada and Sweater Beats, “Waiting So Long” is a refreshing edit balanced by hip-hop production and attention paid to stirring, evocative details that pronounce a deep love for both the lounge and DIY coffee house music scenes. The synths here stab with a lightness normally reserved for melodic piano and the beats – which hit with surgical precision – are velvety and almost cascade over the ambient strings and bassline like a waterfall.
You can listen to “Waiting So Long” after the jump and be sure to hit up Sam Gellaitry’s SoundCloud for a download of the track.
