knowsum: sechs
Francisco Espregueira
Not much is known from the Geman producer Knowsum. In the past few years he’s been releasing experimental hip hop music mainly on two of the most reputable underground labels on the genre: Sichtexot and Melting Pot Music. SECHS is his fabulous return to the Sichtexot imprint, with futuristic funky beats.
Knowsum’s new EP offers a variety of songs between chill laidback and experimental grooves. Details of truly innovative approaches over slow beats. From the soulful combination of bass and keys on “sexytime” to the head-nodding reinterpretation of Patrice Rushen’s “Remind Me”, SECHS is best appreciated when played from track one to track nine. Available, through Sichtexot - all about drums, all about samples, all about swing.
