UK pride oozes from the delicate sounds of Frameworks as he meshes celebrated tracks from the likes of fellow Brits SBTRKT, Maribou, and Romare with his own breed of hip hop-meets-sweet, sweet lullaby. Experimenting with charming downtempo, whimsical chimes, and a series of Pablo Casals-worthy strings, his THUMP NORTHMIX will have you chillin’ like a November breeze.
As he navigates through his playlist, the Manchester native’s original escapist tracks are a refreshing break from the comfortable and familiar sounds of Britain’s best. Masterfully balancing old and new, established and up-and-coming, simple and symphonic, Frameworks’ NORTHMIX triumphantly defines his sound in a saturated sea of melancholic English producers.
