Take aka Sweatson Klank has long been at the center of an ever growing scene of talented musicians/producer/djs in the Los Angeles area who have blurred the lines of Hip Hop and Electronic Music. A movement that the world is now tuned in to with ever growing interest.
His musical catalog includes releases for labels like Eat Concrete, Circulations, Buttermilk, Poobah, Inner Current, Swedish Brandy, and Astro Lab, as well as remixes and compilation tracks for the likes of Warp, Plug Research, Power Shovel Audio, Dublab,Circulations, and many others.
Take’s ears are finetuned to tones that resonate
widely while arriving in unexpected vessels. The seeds sown
by the music he loves have sprouted into a unique, original
vocabulary. His productions bump with the best of them
while going the extra far-out mile. His beats are bathed
in exquisite layers of electronics that reveal greater beauty
upon each new bar. Take’s evolving formula of mysterious
music magic has earned him an ever-growing audience of
open-eared fans around the globe. These songs
are nothing short of epic journeys, continuously evolving compositional
collages that lead the listener down a dust covered road of
bit-crushed melodies and molested jazz samples.
Think Brian Eno meets J Dilla..
