Today, Urban Waves presents a special treat from multi instrumentalist ideism, the next installment in our "Parallel Voices" compilation. In ideism's words, the new new single "Echoes" represents his sonic foray into capturing the haunting familiarity of a fading memory. Keenly tracing from the aural palette of his previous work, ideism trades ambient lo-fi beats for wandering cadences and waves of ethereal synthesizers, paying homage to modern takes on jazz fusion a la Kamaal Williams and Joe Armon Jones. Bolstered by an energetic chord motif continually fragmenting and reconstituting itself, and curiously layered with rippling melodies and warping rhythms, the ghostly excursion through the producer and keyboardist's latest single is sure to evoke the texture of illusion.

Since releasing his first project on Inner Ocean Records, Ideism's tracks have featured on compilations from the likes of Black Noise Records, Chillhop, Fuzzoscope, Phonolith, and SVNSET WAVES. As a writer and musician he is also 1/4 of the group Midnight Theory, a groove outfit steeped in the influence of funk, breakbeat, and hip-hop. We hope you enjoy this track and go explore more of his work!

"Parallel Voices" is an ongoing singles curated by @slowya_roll to spotlight forward thinking fusion, broken beat, and experimental jazz - really, anything that grooves.
