Debuting in 2016, the EP "Esquimaux" is a bundle of instrumental hip-hop and upbeat funk songs I wrote over the year. Containing samples and live-played instrumentals, the EP has influences from regions and genres over the world.
Esquimaux quickly became popular and saw the light in Bandcamp's "top-selling" in the early days of 2017. After nearly three years, it decided to finally eternalize itself in the form of physical matter, as it is coming out on vinyl. As Esquimaux' top-comments on YouTube and SoundCloud generally consist of comments that claim the songs are "way too short", this vinyl pressing has the popular joints - "Esquimaux", "Fénice", "Plume" and "Kenji" - extended to fit the complete A- and B-side. Never heard before.
Even though not originally belonging in the Esquimaux EP, "ILY" is appearing as a bonus track on this vinyl pressing. With the nostalgic yet funky vibe of "ILY" matching the EP completely however, it cannot be said to be a misfit within the compilation.
Artwork orginally made by Naritttt, has been modified (with his approval) by me. The beautiful cover shows a standing girl wandering around in her personal dream-esque landscape of clouds and water, holding tight to the entity that seems to move her through space and time. A picture you can both lose and find yourself in and a picture that I honestly find extremely fitting for the songs on this EP.
If you decide to buy a copy of "Esquimaux", I will include a special way to thank you in the packaging. Thank you ❤️

So hard to pick a favourite track because there are so many good ones on here! Creative chops with tons of groove. Masterful mix of synths and acoustic instruments. An unpredictable yet recognisable blend of genres. Highly recommend! Paul WH
