Band/artist history
Born inner-metro, 1979 and transported to the stix, KoBAyASHi has creatively crafted the sound of his generation since the mid-90s. He first carved out musical morsels and looped them using the pause button on a shottie home stereo tape deck. Later he added drum-loops by holding down the tape and phono buttons simultaneously and playing breakloop vinyl over the cassette of his dusty manual samples..mostly mined from the grooves of avant-garde jazz funk & soul or the foreign stylings of international ensembles. Today, having relinquished himself to the music, KoB serves as a relentless faucet that pipes the ancient audio magic revived by his musical forefathers from 12”deep black vinyl wells of sound, in hopes that it will saturate the space between souls and soil washed brains. Just listen for the changes. ***KoBAyASHi is the resident beatmaker for the ATL/NY hiphop group -The RisingSons-*** Check them out at www.risingsonsmusic.com "...and when niggas bite I clap, cause they sh!t sound betta now..."
