“Snappy” means so many things. Quick, stylish, and rude. Three pillars of resistance in times of hopelessness. Recorded over the course of a year at his home studio, Greg Hatem’s new EP, Snappy, is a collection of offbeat electronic compositions inspired by a fuzzy middle-school nostalgia. This is demonstrated literally on “Waiting For Rachel,” a recalling of parochial school carpooling and the accompanying impatience. Elsewhere throughout the EP, Hatem reimagines samples from the 1999 DAW software/video game Music 2000, twisting the original vocal samples into new melodies and contexts. The video game, released in the US as MTV Music Generator, had a profound impact on 12-year-old Hatem’s musical development 🎶
“Snappy” is available June 5th on streaming platforms and on CD via Bumpy Records. No AI was used in the production of this release.
