Talk about clearing some headspace. Step aside, sip on this and let Haitian-born producer, DJ and beatmaker extraordinaire Kaytranada‘s latest elixir work its magic. This one’s different. Breaking with his claim to fame, futuristic r&b patterns, K goes the extra mile on young Toronto trio BADBADNOTGOOD‘s “Kaleidoscope“, taking an already great tune, sampling its ever so catchy, mesmerisingly smooth rhodes-riff, then remolding it into a ghostly, uptempo loop, easing in some drumbreaks along the way and finally unleashing his ill four-to-the-floor rework to save the day. Listed as jazz fusion, this is everything your doctor prescribed. Just download and let go.
Or keep up. If you’ve been missing class lately, make sure to check out BBNG’s fundamentally sound, hip hop and jazz driven instrumental improv sessions, found on their bandcamp page. Listen and learn. “Kaleidoscope” is off their current album “III“. Get the vinyl version if you can, seeing as the digital version is only up for sale via iTunes. You know the drill…
