Segnalazione d'obbligo per questo incredibile beat tape di Axion117, producer giapponese dalle skillz enormi.
Il suo nuovo lavoro è un florilegio di tecniche di campionamento e di lavorazione del sample, batterie sempre azzeccatissime ed atmosfere originali.
Disponibile in
streaming, digitale e in vinile. Consigliato.
Japanese beat-master Axion117 returns to Cold Busted with the
action-packed 17 track MCHD. A worthy follow-up to 2016’s One Thousand
Horizon, the album further establishes Axion117 as a formidable
sample-samurai, cutting and slashing beats and phrases in a finely-tuned
frenzy. The cuts that make up MCHD are varied and expressive, revealing
jazzy beat structures, chopped-up melodic motifs, and buttery vibes
that can be spread for days. Included in the album are the sublimely
uplifting “Up Rising,” the latin-tinged “Dara Pa” and its bouncing kick
drum, “Remaking Vibes” with its smoked-out, lounge feel, and the
mesmerizing mellow-ish boom-bap of “S.I.B.” As a whole, the album feels
like an exclusive crate-digging session led by Axion117. There’s much to
explore within MCHD’s 17 tracks. Dig deep!
