LISTEN MIX HERE
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..

Some nice reviews and comments:

“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
