How does one preserve their influences without completely ripping them off, but totally ripping them off? Become a beat musician. Want those old melodies to come alive again in a variety of expansive and transfixed ways? Look no further! Instrumentals made by all of the scene’s top production wizards continue to be put straight from their needles to yours via Fat Beats’ ever growing Baker’s Dozen series. Next up (and FIFTH edition) features Los Angeles based producer Daedelus.
The first single off Baker’sDozen: Daedelus entitled, “Know What You’d Like?” is just an uplifting frenzy of good vibes and times. It’s like finding an old summer CD that you can’t toss, no matter how much it skips or delays, because it matches so well with your current obsession with lounge jazz and various orchestral funk soundtracks. The blend is like a close mix of Avalanches, Baker’s Dozen series-mate Ras G, and similar hype TMCT brings to sampling older vocals. Not to mention, how the vast amount of samples heard mingled in “Know What You’d Like?” could be from the collection behind Daedelus on the cover art. Brilliant work all around, y’all, and grip Baker’sDozen: Daedelus ASAP on the pre-order, as the full release drops February 10.
