Recollection
$20.98
Vinyl LP pressing. Es-K (Essential Knowledge) was born in Holland, raised in Kansas City, Missouri, and currently lives in Burlington, Vermont. He made waves with his monthly Spontaneous Grooves releases, where a set of instrumental tracks are created in one sitting - 24 editions were released. ReCollection, Es-K's offering on Cold Busted, ups the ante with 24 evocative beat-based compositions representing a variety of moods and contexts. From the sparse, slightly ominous opener "Hydrgn" the listener knows this is a different kind of beats record. "Flrn, for example, is deep and textural, owing influence to futuristic ambient as well as boom bap hip hop. There are also nostalgic, dream-like moments, such as the loping and exotic "Ptssm" and the mutant quiet storm funk of "Mngns." The titles are indeed code for the elements, and the elements of Es-K's production are just as varied. ReCollection is a chemistry course of smooth beat concoctions.
