Black-Tokyo has been busy; steadying flipping, chopping, and sampling in his Virginia based lab. Recently we featured his collaboration with us, The Echo Chamber Ep, which is still available for free download, and not soon after he finished that project, he wrapped up another collaboration with a good friend of ours, DJ Jazz Pants. You can grab that at Jazz’s site here.
He wasn’t done with his new-found fondness of teaming up with other creatives (yeah I just said bloggers were creatives: somewhere a real writer just fell out of his chair laughing — well fuck him, and you…kidding) as he enlisted the help of artist, He Dreamt Mars, an artist and graphic designer hailing from my people’s homeland, England. He and Black-Tokyo got together on this collaboration and added a different twist. For each track Black-Tokyo crafted, HDM designed a correlating design. Pretty dope concept if you ask me. Check out my personal favorite track on this EP, “Monochrome.”
Kind of has some old Disney-movie-montage-of-characters-cleaning feel to it, but with the chops and loops we’re expected to hear from Black-Tokyo. Show some support for two artists by naming your price for this 9-track EP. Grab it up here and don’t forget to check out the accompanying track-artwork at He Dreamt Mars’ website. Let us know what you think and as always shoot some love in the comments section.
