Dive in. Swim on. Float up. Thaw out.

While spending some time illin’ at his parents’ house, Melbourne bedroom talent Louis Roach (aka B Deep) has put together a fresh collection of tunes through the Sydney-based Skydreams label. The product of spending dizzy days and fever nights digging up some optimism, Island Hopping Through The Stratosphere is a half-hour bad-vibe vaccine.

Sprawled over the 10 tracks are warm samples melted and warped into coasting hip-hop beats and cruising electro-pop. The album occasionally dips its toes into some darker water, sending a chill or two through your limbs, but these moments are fleeting enough to have you thawing out in no time.
