Producer SoulChef Releases New Album “Raw Silk” | LISTEN!
NEW ZEALAND PRODUCER SOULCHEF RETURNS WITH NEW INSTRUMENTAL ALBUM, RAW SILK
A SOULFUL, BOOM-BAP-DRIVEN LISTENING EXPERIENCE BUILT FOR DEEP LISTENING, CREATOR CULTURE, AND LONG-TAIL DISCOVERY
[LOS ANGELES, CA] – New Zealand-based producer SoulChef returns today with Raw Silk, a new full-length instrumental album out now via Cinq Music Group, a division of GoDigital Music. Known for his signature blend of soulful jazz textures, boom-bap rhythms, and timeless instrumental hip-hop, SoulChef expands his catalog with a project that feels both deeply rooted and forward-moving.
Raw Silk is a cohesive collection of warm, richly layered compositions designed for deep listening, late-night sessions, focus, and visual storytelling. Blending jazz-influenced melodies, analog-inspired textures, and classic hip-hop drum patterns, the album unfolds as a continuous listening experience that rewards immersion and repeat plays.
SoulChef says “I wanted to capture a specific feeling with Raw Silk: the combination of hard, raw hip-hop elements and the smooth, polished melodies of R&B and soul. I created this music to give you a break from the noise. A place of peace through music, where you can go to escape the busy world.”
Across his catalog, SoulChef has built a global audience through a distinct instrumental sound that bridges chillhop and boom-bap. Early projects such as Escapism and Good Vibes helped establish his musical identity, while collaborations like “Write This Down” remain enduring touchpoints in his catalog. More recently, “The Professional” with Mickey Factz has continued that momentum, reinforcing SoulChef’s place as a leading voice in modern instrumental hip-hop.
With hundreds of millions of streams worldwide and a catalog that continues to perform across streaming and creator platforms, SoulChef has become known for crafting music with staying power—records that live beyond release week and continue to find new audiences over time.
Raw Silk is available now on all major streaming platforms here.
