Cowbell Ritual

Cowbell Ritual is a beatmaker who resurrects the raw essence of classic phonk with a signature dark and hypnotic twist. Inspired by the Memphis rap underground and early ‘90s Southern hip-hop, Cowbell Ritual blends deep 808s, eerie samples, and the unmistakable clang of the cowbell to create tracks that feel like they’re pulled from a forgotten, dusty tape deck. With a focus on moody atmospheres and heavy, nostalgic beats, his music transports listeners to a shadowy world of late-night drives and underground gatherings.

Since launching the Cowbell Ritual project, he has drawn a dedicated fanbase of phonk purists and newcomers alike, who are captivated by his authentic, lo-fi soundscapes and meticulous production style. Cowbell Ritual’s work keeps the spirit of classic phonk alive, pushing it forward with fresh, experimental twists that respect the roots of the genre while exploring its darker, more hypnotic sides. Whether it's for chilling, cruising, or drifting through city lights, his beats provide a unique and immersive vibe that’s both timeless and evocative.
