Reflections EP by choopsie

LA based producer and DJ Choopsie returns to blistering form with her dreamy new Reflections EP, her second instalment with UK tastemaker label Silver Bear Recordings.

The announcement arrives with brand new single ‘Reflections’ - a euphoric statement consisting of electro pads and blissful synths, which transcend into a joyous breakbeat infused groove. An atmospheric opener which certainly sets the tone for the rest of the EP.

The release marks a departure of the sounds Choopsie has become accustomed to. Inspired by a year away from her native LA and residing across Europe, the EP is a culmination of sounds absorbed along the way;

“This EP reflects a transitional moment for me. Returning to LA after nearly a year in Europe, I felt inspired by the new sounds I encountered. It was also a chance to reconnect with myself and try something new musically.”

‘I Got You’ is case in point; dark and moody, the track features distorted vocals – a theme which runs throughout the EP and a technique Choopsie has been exploring in greater detail. “The EP became a sonic diary, pushing me to experiment with vocals in a way I hadn't before.”

Drawing the expansive EP to a close is ‘Distance’, a sprawling IDM cut accompanied with delicately chopped up vocal samples and swirling drums and pads.

Classically trained in piano and guitar, music has played a prominent role throughout the producer’s life. It wasn’t until COVID when she fully honed in on music production, using her love of ambient music as inspiration for creating emotive soundscapes. These quickly gained the attention of labels and she has since worked with the likes of Shall Not Fade, Dirtybird Records and Silver Bear Recordings, who previously released her Remembering EP to high acclaim.

She’s been busy on the road too, demonstrating her wide musical pallet with sets in prominent clubs from Paris to Berlin, as well as back home in Los Angeles.

Choopsie is carving out something special and the Reflections EP is the next exciting chapter in her voyage of new sonic discoveries.
