From seductive club bangers to therapeutic, night-time-cruising tunes, Slater has solidified his role as a tastemaker and star of the new wave of alternative music. Since 2013, Southern California’s rising underground sensation, Slater, has blended the best elements of alternative, pop, and hip hop into a new, unique sound all of his own. Smooth, chill, and infectious, his niche style is as reminiscent of early 00’s pop, hip-hop, and rock hits as it is innovative and fresh. As a member of the Vada Vada collective, Slater is no stranger to experimentation. With the success of ESI (2021), Slater has since dropped his much anticipated follow up album, ESI 2, in June 2025.
