The Glow

The Glow is centered around the classic soul sounds that glittered and glowed, spiced up a notch through resampling. Producer Xan Young combined elements of classic 1970s soul with boom bap hip hop beats. He layed down guitar, Prophet 6, Arp Odyssey, Juno 60, Fender P Bass, piano, and vocals—each meticulously written and performed through Class-A 500 series preamps. Each instrument was then layered together, printed, and chopped up in much the same way someone would find a tasty segment from an old soul record and toss it in an MPC.
