“Wakeful” is the debut album by @NicolasHaquinvia @Outtallectuals label, featuring +20 collaborating musicians. Composed, refined, & meticulously crafted over 2 years, ‘Wakeful’ is a culmination of deeply personal emotions as they intertwine with the expression of collaborating artists who bring their instrumental, production or vocal expertise to the experience.

The album explores the liminal states between wistful & cheerful, defeated & optimistic, focused & wandering, & isolated & connected. Sonically, the album’s genres span an eclectic yet continuous thread along organic downtempo, future garage, deep dubstep, lo-fi & jazzhop, nature-inspired ambient, IDM & world music.

The album’s darker songs, namely the stomping High Dude collaboration, ‘Starless’, the psychedelia of ‘Smoke And Mirrors’ with Maynix & Chalky, & Middle Eastern experimental garage of ‘Dark Skis’ with Three Oscillators & Adam Maalouf, are balanced with more introspectively neutral tones of ‘Daydream’ with IOM, & onto the more triumphant & resolving tones of ‘Sequence’, ‘Through the Trap Door’ & ‘Glow’.
