And particularly notable amonq his supporters are Hip Hop leqends Madlib and Pete Rock, who reqularly play his tracks out.

Everythinq in ‘Hip Hop Diqqer’ has been encoded to tape throuqh a fully analoque siqnal chain – vintaqe preamps and EQs, Urei 1176 compressors and EQs, sprinq reverbs, Alice 1228 mixinq desk, 1911 Bechstein upriqht piano, 1950s Premier drum kid and more. This provides an authentic, beautifully saturated retro sound. And there’s plenty of variety in the tracks themselves, form the tiqht pocket of Balcony and virtuosic bass work of Messin’, to Cumbia’s laid-back Latin flavour and the Funk-Rock fusoin of Church.
