A few weeks back we’ve had the chance to have a spontaneous conversation with eminent British musician, keyboardist, composer and producer Joe Armon-Jones after a performance at our our very own, very prestigious Montreux Jazz Festival 2022. With his 2nd album being listed as one of the top 10 albums of 2019 by the Time, the virtuoso has been consistently blessing us with releases, juxtaposing dark sounds with hopeful emotions through a variety of seemingly undefinable cosmic music. Thank you so much for giving us your time and knowledge. The concert was amazing man. So how is Switzerland and Montreux so far ? It’s been treating me very well, man. Yeah, it's been a good day, really enjoyed myself. Amazing...
Boasting distinctiveness and versatility in equal measure, ATL based producer Kreatev sat down with us to discuss his work. In this installment of the Soulquest Lab, he delves into the process through which he merges West Coast influences with soul and jazz, the ebb and flow of his creative process, the importance of visuals+more.

This week, we are very excited to welcome New York based producer Ewonee for the last episode of the 1st season of the Soulquest Lab. With a very distinct sonic identity, Ewonee's beats often feature deep bass lines, very hard drums, gritty textures and beautiful synths and chords. From beautifully chopped samples to analog inspired grooves, we had the chance to ask him a few questions and know more about his worldview, his new tape ''Cheel'', as well as the process through which he creates his ethereal music. First off, thank you so much for giving us your time. We’ve been listening to your music for quite some time and it’s been very inspiring. It’s truly a blessing to be able to...
This week in The Soulquest Lab, we had the honor to welcome legendary Canadian producer Elaquent. Known for his meticulous production, insanely crisp drums, unpredictable synths and more, Elaquent's impressive discography showcases years of constant evolution. We took a moment to chat about his new project, his collaborations, inspirations and the tools he uses to create such timeless creations. Hey man, Thank you so much for being here.

This week in the Soulquest Lab, we went to sunny California to ask a few questions to talented LA based rapper Blue November. He told us how recording his own voice took his music to the next level, the producers he works with, the music that he's currently working on and a lot more. Hey what’s up man ? How are you? I’m doing well, can’t complain ! We’re fascinated by versatile artists like you. You have the ability to rap on uptempo trap beats like Swamp or Sanctuary, be flawless on Spacey and melancholic beats like Void or Pea Coat Pimp and rap/even sing very melodic hooks on Neo-Soul/Hip-Hop productions. What would you attribute this to? I’ve never felt confined as far...
