The long-awaited new album from Comfort Fit finally drops!
File this one under Hip Hop Instrumentals Deluxe!
These cripsy beats are ripe with thumping funk and techno influences, sample wizardry and daring shuffles. Composed with the help of unique sound plugins which were especially programmed to measure Comfort Fit’s needs and wishes, we think the chances aren’t bad that you’ll fall for the unique sound signature, bounce and elegance of this tight Hip Hop production.
Like the best mixtapes this thing plays strongly as a whole - no matter if it’s about classic Jazz impressions (’Miles of Smiles’), Theo Parrish references (’Take a Look’), Hip Hop bouncers (’True Form’, ‘Hairy Crushed Nuts’, ‘The Hunt’), scarily deep intergalactic grooves (’Planetary Picknick’) or love themes (’She Knows Me Now’), all the album tracks are locked together closely and must be seen as a whole.
Skipping through this album is not allowed. ‘Forget and Remember’ is more than just beat fodder for your next mixtape, “it’s a very personal diary of mine. I feel music is my natural form of expression, not words”, as Comfort Fit says. “It is very important for me to escape from the noise pollution of the cities and from the media hypes going on. I’d rather create my own”.
Alot has changed in Comfort Fit’s life since his first album ‘Museum’ was released on Megahertz Records 2001. But despite all the action he has managed to release some critically acclaimed Singles and EPs via Tokyo Dawn Records, as well as remixes for Universal Jazz and other labels. His music is now even being used in the TV commercials of a german automobile corporation and a hitech firm, and his live acts, featuring a rap and turntablism show and an interactive ‘Taste Test’ with his audience could already be seen on MTV and Trace TV.It’s Tokyo Dawn, so you know.
Eat This Raw.
