quick note: #13 has an alternate track for Spotify because they do not have the full Akira soundtrack in their database. I highly recommend this album, which was re-released on 180 gram vinyl last year. The group that composed it is one of a kind: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geinoh_Yamashirogumi

The Life I Live - Pete Rock

I had a conversation with a friend a while back about our favorite hip hop producers. As I recall, both of our top two were J Dilla and Pete Rock, except his number one was Dilla and mine was Pete. He was surprised by my choice, considering how pioneering Dilla was. I fully acknowledge Dilla's genius as well as the profound influence he has had on modern music, but there is something about Pete's aesthetic that resonates with me more personally. I love repetition in music. When a loop is composed or constructed well, it can be repeated forever and I won't get tired of it. (Another context where this comes up in the music I listen to is with 1970's Malian groups such as Super Biton de Segou and L'Orchestre Kanaga de Mopti.) Pete Rock's loops are deep and hypnotizing. I enjoy playing drums along to his beats to practice pocket, but also because the act of playing one phrase continuously is meditative. I get to a point where my limbs are on auto pilot, locked in to the music, and I am visualizing the sounds.
