Handbook – Can’t Talk Now

Handbook guides us through the world of instrumental hip-hop.

The York-based artist creates the perfect soundscape for the heart’s travels. His new track Can’t Talk Now (Stereofox Records) is an intimate offering full of mellow vibes and slow-motion beat grooves. The vocal sample kicks in from time to time leaving a depth of communication in this peacefulness of the musical mind. Handbook today, is stirring up his path as a hard-worker spinning out hundreds of beats along the way, exploring different motifs and sound spaces. You should keep up with the music releases here.

At times, artists need to step back from the noise of reality and focus in on their creative process. This track was created with exactly that in mind; the backbone of the beat is the steady and focused groove, supporting the weaving reversing samples, the warm bass line, the twinkling keys and gentle music box.

I believe that sometimes, the daily narrative has to be put on hold. A reality check in it’s true essence.
