Ozzient’s debut EP, Chill Thrills, delivers tranquility and nostalgia, wrapping us in a world of dreamy, soothing sounds. Released on September 20, 2024, this solo project shows Ozzient’s flair for merging multiple genres to craft a unique, relaxing listening experience. Self-produced in his home studio, Ozzient shows off his all-rounded skills by playing the piano and güira and even beatboxing merged into his digital production.
Chill Thrills opens with “Nostalgic Feelingz,” which builds slowly with shimmering melodies before introducing hypnotic beats that deepen the track’s immersive quality. “Soothing Vibez” follows with subtle glitchy radio effects and beats that weave through the hazy inundation, easing listeners into a relaxed, introspective, lo-fi mood. Then, “Calming Moodz” creates an immersive space with gentle, flowing melodies and soft, groovy beats, echoing the natural, calming sounds of a river.
The final track, “Chill Thrills,” stands out with its bold energy shift. Starting with snapping fingers and glimmering synths, the beats drop hard, and the intensity gradually builds with clashing cymbals and a sparkling rhythm section, adding a burst of energy to the EP’s mellow atmosphere. This surprise switch-up adds excitement while maintaining the EP’s chill foundation and representing the true vibes of city life, that comes when you are finally ready to feel the heat amidst the fast-paced urban lifestyle.
Chill Thrills showcases Ozzient’s eclectic influences, from Eminem to Calvin Harris, as he combines elements of hip-hop, electronic, and beats to deliver an atmospheric listening journey. Check it out on Spotify to feel it’s course.
