Transience & Permanence by Versâam

“These are my deep cuts. The seclusion of covid created an incubator for my style. I fell deep into a state of flow which, in hindsight, feels like a lost chapter in the Versâam catalogue.”

Ellis Newton aka Versâam

Culled from the isolation of early COVID lockdowns, Transience & Permanence compiles nearly 40 beats by East Bay producer Versâam on Hot Record Societe. All made on the MPC2500, the minute-length vignettes flow through a familiar world of samples and freestyles and stuttering drum kits, mashing together pop culture licks, underground artists wisdom and witticisms, and blissful beats into a personal collage and now-time capsule.

See Versâam curate records this Wednesday, February 28 as part of Smartbomb’s Selector Series collaboration with Bar Shiru.
