by the mountains EP - Stereofox Label

THE RELEASE

Release Schedule: Jun 4th - mornin' breeze / halfcab

Jun 17th - by the mountains EP
Genres: Lofi, Jazz

Following a series of releases on Stereofox Records, softy and B-side now come together for their first collaborative project, by the mountains EP – an atmospheric, dreamlike lo-fi release inspired by natural landscapes – from mountain horizons to still forest paths, and the small, meaningful moments that unfold within.

South Korean pianist and producer softy developed a deep connection to jazz piano from a young age before gradually moving into the lo-fi scene. His music blends warmth, nostalgia and subtle melancholy with a strong appreciation for the natural world.

B-Side is a German beatmaker known for crafting weighty, textured grooves. His artist name originates from the idea of the flipside of a record – creatively manipulating samples into new, unexpected forms, evolving into a defining identity, rooted in rhythm, detail, and sonic experimentation.

Graced by rich saxophone melodies, layered over hip-hop grooves and neo-soul harmonies, filtered through a jazz-inflected lens, by the mountains is designed as an immersive listening experience, engaging all the senses and creating space for comfort and reflection.

Merging their distinct musical identities and a shared sensitivity for warmth, groove, and detail, B-Side and softy shape by the mountains into a cohesive meditation on stillness, nature, and emotional presence.
