Los Angeles-based producer and vocalist Frythm has consistently carved out a unique space in electronic music. By way of El Paso, Texas, Frythm (née Mateo Peña) has been orbiting the outer edges of electronica since his 2016 debut single "The Only Time". He's steadily navigated from instrumental hip-hop beats and electronica to underground house and UKG rhythms, now culminating with *Meraki*, Frythm's latest album for Alpha Pup Records. "Meraki" is a Greek word that describes doing something with soul, creativity, or love, and putting a piece of yourself into your work. It implies doing something with passion, devotion, and undivided attention. It's often associated with creative tasks but can be applied to any activity. Essentially, it's about infusing your essence and heart into whatever you're doing. *Meraki* arrives as a powerful continuation of Frythm's artistic evolution. His path wasn't conventional – fueled by a defiant passion ignited in the rave scene and sharpened by a bold choice to pursue music against external doubt, Frythm's unwavering resolve is etched into every track. With features from Seyaa and Amy G. Dala, and mastered by Daddy Kev, *Meraki* stands apart as a highly crafted journey into sound.
