If you’re a fan of artists like Parcels, Jungle and Steve Lacy, then get around the brand new EP from Tandayna/Adelaide-based artist, Maybe Hugo.
Dubbed Maybe, Might Be, Could Be, the record was home-produced by the artist himself and features five warm, heartfelt tracks that fuse elements of funk and alternative soul.
Maybe Hugo – Maybe, Might Be, Could Be
“Going into the writing process, I didn’t really have a specific message I wanted to push with each song,” the producer and multi-instrumentalist explains. “I wanted to let the listener interpret the music themselves, as I’ve often found many of my favourite songs gave me this exact feeling! Maybe it provides you warmth, whereas someone might have a gloomier perspective on it; the choice is with you!”
He continues: “That’s where the name of Maybe, Might Be, Could Be stems from, where it gives each listener the chance to convey what they may hear or feel themselves.”
Maybe Hugo is the moniker of Hugo Dahlen-Flight, who creates all his music from his home studio.
“I record everything at my home studio, using mostly just one dynamic mic,” the artist adds. “I’ve learned to keep things simple and not overcomplicate the writing and recording process. In the past, I’ve found traditional studios can feel a bit daunting— whether it’s time constraints or even the unfamiliarity of the space itself. The project stems from individuality and doing your thing, as no one has one set story…given you learn and grow!”
As a DJ, he’s previously supported the likes of Bag Raiders, Young Franco, and Keli Holiday, also gracing side-stages at Laneway and Wildlands festivals. His first live shows as Maybe Hugo will be announced later this year.
For now, you can take his debut EP Maybe, Might Be, Could Be for a spin up above.
