De La Soul’s contributions to hip-hop over the past three decades are mighty, but the Long Island trio has often been challenged by its own creativity. In an era where music is becoming increasingly accessible, De La’s catalogue has been noticeably absent from iTunes, Spotify, and other free and subscription-based platforms due to issues with sample clearances.

A project initially clouded in mystery and intrigue, Niklas Kramer’s musical venture Still Parade grew in recognition throughout 2013 with their soft, dream-folk rock sound. After various stints playing at an array of summer festivals in Europe, however, the Berlin-based Kramer began to experiment with new soundscapes and techniques upon receiving a new tape recorder as a gift from his father. It marked a change in stylistic direction for the German producer ...
