His sound blends deep jazz samples with live instrumentation over boom-bap and lo-fi hip hop foundations — The Guardian described it as "an ethereal, jazzy take on boom bap, equal parts Air's Moon Safari and Minnie Riperton circa her work with Rotary Connection." He also records as Rise (sample-based jazz) and under aliases like Redefinition and Alexis Davis. Beyond his catalogue he founded the Expansions Collective label, hosts a radio show and runs music-production workshops across the UK and Europe. Recent releases include the album "Until Dawn" (2025) and the 2026 single "Silent Movements", with earlier full-lengths "Quiet Storm" and "Samskara". His tagline says it all: future vintage vibes. ## Has worked with [Explore all credits](https://obra.art/mecca83#artistas) 1.6M Total plays & views Projects20 Since2024 Verified streams · verified today 1,624,946 +4 K a day · +119 K a month, on average 20 projects · 5 artists · since 2024 spotify 100 % 1,624,946 79 days · Total ## Records [80K has passed 80,000 streams Silent Arrival Mecca:83 22 days ago](https://obra.art/mecca83/silent-arrival) [60K has passed 60,000 streams Moving Dream Mecca:83 24 days ago](https://obra.art/mecca83/moving-dream) [70K has passed 70,000 streams Midnight Run (feat.
