After making his celebrated Monstercat debut last month, renowned finger drummer and producer OddKidOut returned to the label today with his effortlessly chill new single, “CINEMA.” Featuring sultry vocals from singer-songwriter Marlhy, “CINEMA” traverses hip-hop beats and UK breaks, drawing attention to OddKidOut’s melting pot of influences. The warm synths, bright arpeggiators, and soft pads form a vibrant melody that offsets the dark drums and gritty 808s. Created in the backseat of a car using nothing more than a laptop and headphones, the single’s flawless mixdown is a testament to OddKidOut’s wunderkind production stylings as he continues to exceed expectations with each new record.

OddKidOut shares, “I’m super excited to release another track with Marlhy. Our sounds blend really well between the feeling of light and dark. With “CINEMA,” it’s another dark approach to a love song, making Marlhy’s delicate voice sound as evil as possible.”
After transitioning from metal bands to producing electronic music at age 15, OddKidOut found fame as a finger drummer, quickly becoming one of the most sought-after beatmakers in the space. Citing influences like Stewart Copeland, J Dilla, and Flying Lotus, he’s developed a complex sound that reflects his eclectic palette, from his Philly roots to his strong musical upbringing.
