Budamunk - Bakers Dozen: Budamunk

Japanese producer Budamunk makes his Bakers Dozen debut with a self-titled 13-track ode to sampling and chopping.

"I started listening to Hip Hop in the 90s. My interest grew slowly until it became a collection of records, CDs and taped VHS. This then evolved into experiments, sampling and chopping WAVs on free versions of WaveLab. In 2003 this became an MPC 2000XL. I was living in Los Angeles at the time so I had started going to shows and hanging out with people who shared similar interests. We all began to gather and learn together. Records became beats which became freestyle sessions, songs, laughter and much coughing. After several years I returned to Tokyo and its been 10 years since I have been back. I still make beats the same way. Going off of feeling I would get when I hear a record. The selection of sounds has changed slightly in accordance with my current environment. Still mostly sample-based but adding new and old tools have become part of my process. Just continuing to create music my body and spirit needs to feel good."

Knxwledge - WT.11_8

Never not working, Knxwledge follows the release of the Yes Lawd! Remixes with yet another beat tape for the true heads. Keeping in line with his loosie gawd roots, he drops the umpteenth addition to his impossibly deep catalog of joints entitled WT.11_8. If the Nxworries releases arent your bag, this should suffice.
