HsH artist spotlight shines light on: Ahu (Dolly)

WORDS FROM THE HERO

By now, most of you already know that I have A Special Place in my Heart and Soul for Mellow, Jazzy, Soulful, Melodic, Soothing Vibes..... In Fact The Place in my Heart takes up the Majority of the Space hahaha. Whenever I hear A Certain Type of Music it puts me At Complete Peace and 200% Comfort Mode. For those of you who can't relate, No Offense but I feel sorry for you, Cus if you only knew how dope the Feeling I get when the Track I am Posting Below Plays (which will be Playing Automaticly For A few weeks, So you are probally Listening to Her right now).... (sigh)

Turn Your Lights On by emanative

The Angelic Soulstress you are Hearing right now is Non-other than AHU (Dolly). Whom most of you probally know her from her Beyond Classic Collaboration with Flying Lotus on the Track "Roberta Flack" which next to "Turn your Lights on" are Among my favorite Tracks of all time.

To Be honest w/ you I do not know that much about AHU, but I can promise you I have Spent Hours upon Hours at Various Times on some Super Fan Club Stalker Ish Trying to find Any Info, Pictures, Audio etc..... It's Funny to me that All these new artist, even Veteran Artist have this new philosophy of releasing 3 albums (which aren't even albums but half-ass Mixtapes) a month, and Over-Saturate the Market with A Bunch of Sub-par Music just to stay current and on peoples Radar, while Talents of the likes of AHU, or Vikter Duplaix, Median, Kay of the Foundation, Etc Release only Top Quality Music and keep you Wishing and Fiening for more music.

Since I Can't give you too much Info on The Artist I love so much, I will just provide you with As much Info, and Music as I can and hope you get as much joy and dope Memories as I do/have.

"The offical Princess Toadstool of the BTS beats generation."

Dolly, Istanbul

Ahu started her musical odyssey singing in school bands and the Saint Antuan choir, before debuting her radio show 'Soul Tripping' on Istanbul’s FG 93.7. Nowadays you can find her spinning on Dinamo FM, as well as at events like the Electronica Festival Istanbul. Watch out for her collabo with Flying Lotus called Dolly. Ahu glides like Torvill, segueing effortlessly between artists such as Okada Taxi, Roisin Murphy, Willie Hutch and Daz-I-Kue. Quality. Diversity. Consistency.
