Last time, we talked about acloudyskye.

When all beats start to look like each other and form a generic scene, there will always be someone to break the chain. With a take of his own, creating beats unforeseen, here is eochi.

eochi (어치) is korean for jay, it also means worth, but can also mean idiot depending on usage of the word, im half korean

eochi centers himself at making beats. The first thing you might think of as a beat in modern day could most likely be your typical kick, hat, snare, clap, sub, and a sample, real Metro Boomin style beats. This is though something else. When I first heard “6,″ the intro gave me an invitation. I wanted to reject it when I first heard how it continued, but felt the urge to stay when I listened to it. Through eochi’s hard flow, one thing started to stand out, and that was the use of electronic elements. I thought it was strange. What were they doing in a beat like this? I waited in anticipation for an answer on this, and the explanation was exactly as deep as I thought.

um idk i think it sounds neato

I curiously move on to his other songs. “everlasting” was faster to have me on my toes. While it still includes the electronic elements, I’m surprised by the snare roll eochi brought. Panning around, pitching, reverbed, and generally giving an odd divine feeling, I was in awe. eochi has said the vocals are a cutscene from Final Fantasy XV, but the main focus was really the snare roll. “highwind,” “bahamut,” “gone,” “crystals,” while they all have a different and unique vibe, they share the same roll.

making the same elements in your own songs helps people recognize that its you when they hear it. i also do this by putting the same “hahaha” sound in my songs

Suddenly came “you make me smile (ꈍωꈍ)“

when i get bored with music i switch it up to keep me motivated

“you make me smile (ꈍωꈍ)“ steps away from eochi’s usual style of beats, and goes more into the electronic field. It starts off by going into the saws and waves of future bass, and out of the darker setting of the beats we heard before. We’re accompanied by soft sounds and an atmosphere of nature. The build plays along, but hearing eochi’s tag before the drop makes it drop the mask. eochi smoothly gets his sound implemented, and we’re left with a beautiful fusion of future bass and trap.

eochi once again goes out of his usual style of beats with his demo of the “ULTIMA KIT.” Using sounds of this kit, he shows his ability to make a variety of different styles. I would try to comment on my personal favorite but listening to the demo again makes me want to say all of them are my favorite. Though the ability to make all these different beats is shown, eochi has said that he does not think there are plans to make more in this style. For the ULTIMA KIT itself, it is better explained by eochi himself.

i made that kit for people who wanted to make music and did not have money to afford a kit of their own (most of the time artists make kits by putting their own sounds in a folder and then selling it) right now it has over 350 downloads and im glad people liked it

After having heard the demo to get an idea of what is in the ULTIMA KIT, it’s safe to say I will be downloading it, and you should too. It shouldn't be the only thing you're aiming for.

eochi's got a style of making beats that's overshadowed by more modern ones. For what he has so far, he's underrated, and a lot of people and essentially artists are missing out on this. You shouldn't be one of them.
