PHR003 | KwAkE BaSs MiXtApE

Kwake Bass is regarded as one of the most established drummers in London. He's played in many contexts, ranging from musical director to one-man-band, for acts as varied as DOOM (formally MF Doom), Mica Levi, Jehst, Joey Badass, Kate Tempest, Novelist and Shabaka Hutchings.

He'd started playing drums at 5 years old, but by his teens had also moved into music production. This remained his focus for several years before returning to the drums with a new approach, inspired by his broader study of recorded music.

Having dedicated much of his time to performing the music of his associates, this mixtape marks the realisation of his commitment to release his own recordings, and is the first installment in a series of compilations of his solo work past and present.

Magic in its purest form. I love Floating Points, I love Pharoah Sanders, I love The London Symphony Orchestra. It's a match made in heaven, and the result is absolutely gorgeous. I have loved this record since its release, and realized I don't own it for some reason. So its time to change that. 9.5/10 honestly could become a 10/10 on an indepth vinyl relisten. angrypizza98
