Ive owned and lost the green and orange vinyl for this:,,c

You’re taking a dreamy late night drive down the purple and star lined streets of Shibuya. Through the speakers deep grooves and chunky drums compliment the neon signs passing by in time with the swinging hi-hats as Aru-2 & Kzyboost’s new LP “Hot Pants” bounces out of the stereo. Sometimes rich and dense, yet other times stripped back and direct, the duo’s productions make the perfect accompaniment for Kzyboost’s trademark talkboxing as they effortlessly fuse modern funk grooves with classic hip-hop & beat scene elements, not to mention a generous dose of 90s R&B sensibility. 

Hailing from Tokyo, Aru-2 and Kzyboost are both known for their work in the Japanese underground hip-hop scene. Aru-2 got his start producing for prominent artists like Issugi, Senninsho, Tamaki Roy, and Kid Fresno. His well-received 2013 debut EP “Arµ-2,” was featured in OkayPlayer, while his 2014 collaborative album “TANHÂ,” with Lee (Asano and Ryuhei) was lauded by Pitchfork. Kzyboost’s instrument of choice is the talk-box and as such is one of the best known talk-box artists in Japan. He’s released two studio albums, “Callin’ U” (2019), and “Keep Smoovin’” (2020), that fuse West Coast hip-hop and 90s R&B. The two artists bonded over their shared love of music across sessions at Aru-2’s home studio, resulting in their first collaborative album - the  “Hot Pants” LP.

Fat Beats Records is proud to present Baker’s Dozen, an exclusive vinyl series that shines a light on the best minds of instrumental hip-hop, ambient, and electronic music. Each installment gives one artist carte blanche to capture their signature sound.

Volume One highlights Los Angeles born / Sacramento based beat maker Dibiase, whose style is best described in his own words:

“It’s crazy to think that my equipment collection and beat making process started back in high school with just an 8 second Gemini sampler and a Sony Walkman. It was a super basic set up. Back then I used whatever I could get my hands on. Finding different samples, looping them up, running the layers back through the Walkman. Adding more layers and repeating that process until I had a beat. It worked.

My process is a lot different now but in some ways it’s the same. I still do a lot of layering. I use a combination of hardware and software. Sometimes I start with a sample. Sometime I start with drums. It depends on my mood and the genre. Sometime I use a kit. Other times I will sample and layer drums, run them through another piece of equipment like the SP-12 or 404 to dirty them up, then dump them back into Ableton.

I really don’t have a set way of doing things musically. I like to experiment with different technics and styles. I like my music to have a certain sound. Most of the time I let the process happen naturally.”
