Releases from artist / Veröffentlichungen von : Marco Polo

repress post rsd

limited 7 inch release for rsd 2019.

baker’s dozen heads back to the east coast where veteran producer marco polo brings a welcomed boom bap flavor to the series. new york city is the birthplace of fat beats (and as many would say, hip-hop in general) and current nyc resident marco polo is true to form in representing our roots. as always, every volume of bdz features one artist and twelve tracks (with limited random copies including the baker’s dozen bonus track on a flexidisc) and comes equipped with a 5x7” postcard insert that features a photo of the artist’s workspace along with the equipment used in their music making process. a personal narrative of how they got into beat making in the first place is featured on the back of the jacket. visually cohesive and packaged with the utmost attention to detail, baker’s dozen is a series that speaks up for artists whose craft renders voices superfluous, and whose instrumentals alone suffice to make a statement.

a-f-r-o is a breakthrough artist born and raised in los angeles, ca, who was first discovered by legendary rapper, r.a.the rugged man. marco polo is a brooklyn based producer, raised in toronto, canada, who has produced music for artists such as talib kweli, pharoahe monch, boot camp clik, royce da 5’9 & more.
the vinyl lp comes with download code included.

*my sound is definitely boom bap, i could never deny that. but i feel like it is an updated sound*, says marco, born marco bruno, who started making music in 1999 after buying an mpc drum machine with student loan money. the mpc and a pack of newports as his sole accomplices, marco made a bold move to nyc in 2001. as an assistant engineer at renowned recording studio, the cutting room, mp honed technical skills and got to know some of the rap games finest as he refined his production chops.

the first release on mirrors, >shitzzo< by marco polo is a cool, groovy technotrack. marco had releases on labels like i220, toneman or hidden agenda and is well known for his clean, minimalistic technostyle. the release also includes great remixes by gaetano parisio (adagio), dave shokh & simon beeston (highgrade). the parisio remix is a houseflavoured percy groover. the other mixes are more into minimalistic techno.

as a brand 1220 has always been at the forefront of electronic techno music with pivotal releases stretching back over the last 5 years. this new release from marco polo is another quality 2 tracker that further enhances that reputation. the 2 tracks themselves have all the constituent parts necessary to do the damage with both tracks having large electro basslines and cool percussion grooves
