Sips by SquareDrops

Sips is the debut release from Square Drops, a London-based beatmaker duo consisting of GreenMindz (Canary Islands) and Latué Beats (Chile). This project took shape in the summer of 2024, when a spontaneous collaboration between the two musicians evolved into a complete beat tape. Drawing inspiration from the concept of a drink meant to be savored in small sips, each track embodies an element of this “sonic beverage,” exploring a range of textures and sensations. The album, Sips, consists of ten beats, each one evoking an ingredient of a drink: from Water, with its oceanic soundscapes and ambient feel; to Caffeine, which is more frenetic, infused with gritty riffs; Azúcares, capturing the groove of neo-soul; and Vitaminas, which takes on a darker, moodier tone.

Embracing a minimalist approach to sampling, Square Drops prioritizes instrumental composition, crafting an artisanal sound where each layer is thoughtfully constructed. The grooves in Sips break away from traditional hip-hop conventions, revealing a continuous evolution in the use of guitars and synthesizers. Released under Soula, Sips is not only an auditory experience but a visual one as well; Fluff’s graphic design shapes the project’s conceptual identity, elevating each beat into a complete aesthetic experience. With this debut, Square Drops invites listeners to explore beatmaking as a unique form of sonic collage and an expansive canvas for experimentation.

Squaredrops is the creative partnership of LatuéBeats (Chile) and Greenmindz (Canary Islands, Spain), The respect and admiration they have for each other makes everything feel effortless—whether it’s creating beats, experimenting with new sounds, or just jamming out. Every track they drop is a reflection of that easygoing energy and their love for music.
