Anthony “Ant” Davis' production style is often regarded for its rich, textured soundscapes that blend vintage and soulful elements with a deep emotional resonance. The second instalment of his instrumental series, Collection of Sounds: Vol. 2, features smooth beats, intricate sampling, and lush, jazzy layers that create an immersive atmosphere. Here, he masterfully incorporates sly riffs and funk-laden grooves, evoking a sentimentality that highlights his ability to craft emotive and engaging music. The result is a sonically complex album where Ant seamlessly blends a mixture of funk, soul, classic R&B and hip-hop influences, awakening a nostalgic sense of bygone musical eras.

In addition to his introspective and atmospheric approach, Ant also brings a dynamic and vibrant energy to Collection of Sounds: Vol. 2. His production on “Damn Koop 2012" and “Claps, Cuica, Synth Part 2” include playful, funky samples and energetic rhythms that infuse the music with a lively, upbeat quality. Meanwhile, he’s balanced that energy with laid-back and contemplative songs like “Changes,” “Size 17 Shirt,” and “Velvet Ish,” with its mellow, retro ambiance. The beats here are marked by crisp, well- defined drum patterns and varied melodies, showcasing a broad range of influences and creating a celebratory tone that contrasts with the more subdued, reflective aspects of his sound. The versatility here demonstrates Ant's skill in navigating both contemplative and spirited musical landscapes.
