about
"THIS," a remastered release of the acclaimed 6-track instrumental album, is a quintessential collection of compositions born from the long-standing friendship and unparalleled stylings of producers Häzel & Beatchild (formerly Slakah the Beatchild).
Created during a week in 2011 when Beatchild traveled from Toronto to Paris to meet Häzel in person for the first time, the album invites listeners on a nostalgic journey through a tapestry of meticulously arranged sounds, from the crackles of vintage samples to the pulse of signature beats.
With its seamless fusion of soulful sounds and carefully selected samples, "THIS" is a feast for the senses that transports listeners to an ethereal realm of sound.

Stokes. Entering the business through audio engineering, Slakah earned respect with his hard work ethic, gaining the trust of artists along the way.

The best of these numbers appeared on Soul Movement, Vol. 1, his debut album released by the BBE label in 2008. With the lyrics mentioning artists like De La Soul and A Tribe Called Quest, the album's soulful single "What's This Feeling" explained the old-school spirit Slakah was striving to capture. Digital versions of the album came with a 22-minute interview with Slakah dubbed "Producer Commentary." A sequel, featuring appearances from the likes of Glen
