COMMENTS:
Taking a left turn on his previous direction, Take follows his composition skills from his more traditional downtempo work and adds a new dimension. The drums are still at the forefront, but his sound has become so much bigger, with teeth-rattling synth bass to painstakingly chopped and filtered whoknowswhat. This is definitely more of a "sound collage" affair, but his incredible gift for harmony, song structure, and loud-as-hell complex drums are at the core of this EP.

REVIEWS:
"Hip hop music for meditation. Come get served." - GARTH TRINIDAD- "Chocolate City" 89.9 KCRW Radio

"Take makes music that makes love.  His intricate melodies are hugged by warm bass shaking tingling textures from kissing trees.  These are beautiful beats." - FROSTY from DUBLAB

"Take is forging a brand of deeply listenable instrumental hip-hop.  Hypnotic, psychedelic, laid-back, in other words, thoroughly West Coast. This is a cinematic, thoroughly satisfying head trip." TOMAS PALERMO - XLR8R Magazne

"Take crafts songs that are an audio sketchbook to your innermost thoughts and feelings...a pathway to that place inside you one rarely talks about.  This latest EP shows a broadening of his already entrancing and highly
effective production skills. The boundaries of beat-making are obliterated with elements of hip-hop, jazz, soul, electro, downtempo, and UK grime." - EL DOPA- URB Magazine

"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

"Tastefully blending sounds and feels from an eclectic variety of influences, this new EP from Los Angeles' best-kept-secret shows he is only getting better. " CAURAL - Mush/ Chocolate Industries
