Geneva-born, London-based composer and producer Tibo Step returns with the captivating new single ‘Slowdive’, a beautifully atmospheric release via Bagheera Records.
Blending smoky trip-hop rhythms, heavily treated guitars and vintage synth textures, ‘Slowdive’ immerses us in a world of late-night introspection and emotional uncertainty. Inspired by solitary walks through London in the early hours, the track captures the strange emptiness of feeling disconnected despite being surrounded by people, transforming that experience into something deeply cinematic and hypnotic.
Built through an inventive production process that combines layered guitar recordings with environmental sounds and field recordings, the single creates a rich landscape that feels lived-in and immersive. The result is a track that balances melancholy and beauty with remarkable subtlety.
A graduate of the Guildhall School of Music & Drama, Tibo Step has quietly become one of the most intriguing figures within London’s alternative underground. Recent projects include the 'Shadows' EP alongside Hana Amaya, contributions to the Future Bubblers programme from Brownswood Recordings, and performances with acclaimed outfit Lavender.
Following support from BBC Radio and a placement on Apple Music’s New in Alternative playlist, ‘Slowdive’ further establishes Tibo Step as an artist crafting immersive, emotionally rich music that leaves a lasting impression.
