Fresh off the Soundcloud, super-producer Ta-Ku releases a 4 track album called Cutting With Textures (Ode to Chet Faker). He gives a full, yet short explanation on the album in the description box on Soundcloud; it reads:
“Spent the weekend cutting/sampling/chopping the homie Chet Faker’s latest EP “Thinking In Textures”. No stems. Just vibing off Chet’s vocal stabs and melodic chords. These four edit tracks are an ode to the man himself.”
The whole project is real nice, featuring some classic Ta-Ku melodies and harmonies that make you think you’re on some distant planet. Yeah, it’s out there, but we like it. The vocals that are all chopped and screwed make this project even more complex, even though it is only 4 tracks deep. My favorite track is, hands down, “Terms & Nujabes” – that one’s smooth as hell. Thank the hip hop gods that this album is available for FREE download. Check out all the warped percussion you could ever ask for below.
