About
As NKLA, Nicolas Lajeunesse blends chilled Hip-Hop beats, lush pads, ambient leads and gritty field recordings to create atmospheric and textured pieces. Heavily influenced by Hip-hop production legends such as J-Dilla, DJ Premier & Dr. Dre, as well as the Lo-fi sound of Bristol's Trip-hop scene in the 90s, he adds his own unique flare using modern production techniques. Lajeunesse started his career producing strictly rap beats for friends, but quickly began experimenting with various genres of electronic music and incorporating them into his style, which continues to flourish as his taste matures. Occasionally he adds his own voice to his productions as well as other vocal samples for added impact.
