about

Where Old Hollywood Cinema and lofihiphop beats collide, comes Ghost Intent's EP 'Lost Cinema' which is a reminiscent throwback to the golden years of Hollywood. With beats which linger and fade through the night 'Lost Cinema' captures the mood and melancholy of old '40s and '50s cinematic themes and forges a sense of calm and relaxation with a distinct sound which makes for a fitting beat tape for every lofihiphop fan, especially those who enjoy Old Hollywood movies.

From Audrey Hepburn to Marilyn Monroe, Edit Piaf and Humphrey Bogart, 'Lost Cinema' features little anecdotes & sampling from Hollywood's forgotten stars of yesteryear coupled with beats which evolve and make you flow and groove along the borders of its smooth rhythms.

Forged and produced against the backdrop of monsoon in Bombay, India, a city which is the epicentre of the Indian Film industry, Ghost Intent traverses offbeat elements which are a stark contrast to the hip hop prevalent in the streets of Bombay today. However, the jazz elements in this EP reflect the music of Bombay City in the '50s.

"For my love of Old Hollywood Cinema and lofi hip hop beats comes this EP 'Lost Cinema'."

"I've spent so much time in the past chilling and vibing to lofi beats just relaxing, smoking, sipping and digging the beats, grooving and working to them at times and so I had to do justice to the genre by dabbling a bit in it, despite it not being my preferred genre of making music."

"I love watching movies from the golden years of Hollywood where there weren't any special effects and the movies, on the whole, relied on brilliant direction, cinematography and dialogue and delivery."

"Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn and Bogey are my favourite actors of all time. I've even named my electric guitar Audrey after her."

"So when the idea of making a cinematic themed lofihiphop beat tape came to me, I was really buzzing to create something that would exemplify my love of both worlds, the movies and the beats"

"My love for cinema and soundtracks has seen me also gravitate to background scoring which is my passion and where I work away from making commercial music."

"But this is my first lofi hip hop beat tape and I hope I've managed to carve out a bit of a niche with it. There'll be more in the future I'm sure, but this one was a bit experimental and I really enjoyed making it during the monsoon of 2020 in my bedroom studio during coronavirus lockdown"

"I hope this beat tape strikes a chord with listeners and makes them more interested in old Hollywood cinema while also enjoying the musical elements of each track and of course the beats."

With a pervading cinematic theme and plenty of slick grooves to complement it, 'Lost Cinema' transports you back in time to the good old years with the embers of Hollywood's finest providing a narrative through the tunnel vision of the lofihiphop genre.

Ghost Intent's EP is a refreshing take & fitting thematic spin on lofi beats and the lofihiphop genre which often has artists make beat tapes which blur into similar sounds.

If you're a lofihiphop fan, looking for a nice little EP to wind down & relax to 'Lost Cinema' doesn't fail to leave a lasting sense of chill & calm with bits and pieces of cinema that make it interesting and culminate in a superb all-round effort which is unique and delightful.
