We introduced you to young Zack Sekoff (@zacksekoff) a couple weeks back (watch interview HERE). Now it's that time to introduce to you Zack Sekoffs debut project sponsored by STUSSY. Ancestors is a 5 track Instrumental EP that begins to give you an idea of young Zack's musical genius. Ancestors is filled with old samples mixed with a fresh perspective of the next generation of music & sound. Sekoff told Next In Show that the EP is a tribute to his late grandfather, the man who gave him his whole record collection. This is where a majority of the samples came from. The EP as a whole has a very new age European vibe to it.
Currently I am seeing sounds while listening to Belly Beat, the introduction to Ancestors. A divine combination of dark samples and live bass playing is what stands in a league of its own. Following that is Dreams, which is full of mellowness. In my mind it makes me feel like I'm cruising on a beach boardwalk during a breezy summer day in LA. A very special guest and good friend of Zack Sekoff blesses the EP with his signature bass playing. Who could it be. You guessed it, the one and only Thundercat (@thundercatbass). The record called Drowning is the beginning of a beautiful musical friendship as well, which means I think there is a good chance we will see more of this collaboration in the future. By the end of the instrumental the bass playing get so good your mind will explode, metaphorically of course. Desert Sands is the next record and again you have a euro feel, but with the bass pluckings of Zack Sekoff. A personal favorite of mine and the last song on the Ancestors EP is called Ohh. The song consists of creative pitch manipulation and perfectly executed acapella sample chops. That is my review of Zack Sekoffs debut project Ancestors and I'm sticking to it. Now you must scroll down and listen to the Ancestors EP. Experience what I'm trying to profess...Now doesn't that sound nice.
