Memory Card by Kaelin Ellis

Groovy lo-fi bounce, off-the-grid funky, and unmistakably Kaelin.

Memory Card dives into the world of multi-instrumentalist prodigy Kaelin Ellis, where groove is everything and rules are non-existent. Kaelin is known for his DIY approach to music making and his lo-fi, genre-bending beats that live “in the pocket”. Ellis effortlessly blends smooth neo-soul, soulful jazz, hard-hitting hip-hop, groovy dance, and stanky funk into a singular sonic tincture.

Kaelin’s unique approach has inspired collaborations with Lupe Fiasco, Kaytranada, Logic, Virgil Abloh, Mark Rebillet, and many, many more. Kaelin’s XO expansion contains carefully crafted samples paired with beats made in the XO sequencer, giving you a unique insight into how Kaelin creates his unique grooves.

Memory Card oozes of lo-fi, chopped-up beats and is crafted with a playful, off-the-grid energy in the same vein as J Dilla, Flying Lotus, Thundercat, and Madlib - but that unmistakably is Kaelin Ellis. Simply put, Memory Card is a creative toolkit built for anyone chasing the head-nod magic of beats that breathe.
