After realeasing numerous sucessful EP’s on labels like Buttermilk,
Poobah, Swedish Brandy,and Astro Lab, and working/remixing artists
like Daedelus (Ninja Tune), Caural( Chocolate Industries, Mush),
Rednose Distrikt ( Rush Hour), TAKE drops his Long Awaited full
length. “ Earthtones & Concrete “ is 18 tracks that further blur the
line between instrumental Hip Hop and Outer Space. “ 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..
“Take makes music that makes love. His intricate melodies are hugged by warm bass shaking tingling textures from kissing trees.” -Frosty, Dublab
“Take is foraging a brand of deeply listenable instrumental hip-hop. Hypnotic, psychedelic, laidback- in other words, thoroughly West Coast.” –Tomas Palermo, XLR8R
“This music is diamonds in the raw, coal yet compressed, and quite the same, people will be unearthing it for years to come.” -Daedelus, Ninja Tune/Mush
