Release Notes:
Coming out with one of the most anticipated and long-awaited albums so
far on Brainfeeder is Samiyam aka Sam Baker. Samiyam is one of the
original members of LAÆs post-modernist hip hop label Brainfeeder, and
was the first release on the labels inception û being æRap Beats Vol 1Æ
- back in 2008.
Sam Baker's Album is 40 minutes of pure listening pleasure, a series of
woozy, off-centre hip hop instrumentals drawing heavily on Baker's love
of electronic funk but never in hock to it. Intensely detailed and
carrying considerable emotional weight, this is not Rap Beats Volume 2
but an album of fully-realised pieces of music which stand on their own
without the need for an MC's intervention. Ann Arbor native, Samiyam
(born Sam Baker) moved to Los Angeles in 2006. In his short time out
West, he has become one of the city's most progressive and recognized
producers, a man who has spearheaded the revival of interest in
instrumental hip-hop music over the last few years. Baker's Rap Beats
Vol.1 collection was the very first release on Brainfeeder. He has also
collaborated with old friend Flying Lotus as Flyamsam as well as having
releases on Hyperdub and Poo-Bah records. Samiyam describes the work
contained in his Debut album simply as, "my favourite stuff" û and what
could be better than that?
