UPCOMING: Samon Kawamura - Thaima LP (JAZZY SPORT)

Written By 1 - August 28 2012

Due out October 2012, to pre-order please contact us at info@conch.co.nz 

Japanese-German Hip-Hop producer Samon Kawamura is back with his SPUR OF THE MOMENT series; a collection of impromptu beats, whose essence lies in their spontaneity. In this series, Kawamura acts on impulse; sourcing ideas from a broad variety of genres, he captures fleeting flashes of inspiration and translates these moments into music – “Spur of the Moment” is the result. 
THAIMA is the first instalment of the series; 25 tracks inspired by vintage sounds from Thailand. Simply put, Kawamura has taken classics sounds from Bangkok’s street kitchens and infused them with his own Hip-Hop flavours. And there are more instalments to come, each one with a completely different theme. Staying true to his roots, Samon’s sound for all of SPUR OF THE MOMENT sets is organic, honest and as analogue is humanly possible in the digital age. Atmospheric and relaxed, the absence of vocals on this instrumental collection harks back to Samon’s first album “Translations” (2007), where the tracks appealed to the listeners’ creative side und let their imaginations unfold. Indeed, Samon describes Hip Hop as a genre “that opens pathways to so many other types of music….in many ways, it opens doors to other creative pastures”. The aptly named follow-up album “Unfold” (2008) progressed to feature vocal artists, ranging from OH NO, Aloe Blacc, Om’Mas, Keith (SA-RA Creative Partners), Laura López Castro, Ta’Raach & Kev Brown. Other notable achievements in Kawamura’s repertoire include the production of Till Brönner’s award winning album “Blue Eyed Soul” as well as Nylon’s album “10 Lieder über Liebe” and “Ein Geschenkter Tag” by German Rap-legend Max Herre. As part of the producer trio KAHEDI he is responsible “Maureen” by soul artist Joy Denalane, as well as several tracks for Y’Akoto (Warner), the hit single “Zurück Zu Wir” by Samy Deluxe and a remix (“Automatic”) for legendary band BEATSTAKES. Kawamura’s followers will not be disappointed by THAIMA’s distinctive and genuine sound, which will prove a valuable addition to any Hip Hop enthusiast’s collection, as will the numerous SPUR OF THE MOMENT beat samplers set to follow in 2012 Track List Side-A A1.Good Morning Bangkok A2.Chatuchak A3.Thaima A4.Riots A5.Thai Mama A6.Club Slam A7.Peoples Song A8.You Want A9.Digtal High A10.Walk A11.Don't Cry Side-B B1.Tuk Tuk B2.You B3.Natty Fu Shake B4.Old Story B5.Cookin B6.Phony Politics B7.Keep It Moving B8.Willow Weep B9.Oystersauce And DanceB 10.Lektro Khon B11.Lom Sak Bounce B12.The Wip B13.Shiam Shoift B14.Good Bye Chang Mai
