Knxwledge has to be one of my favourite producers at the moment, always blending copius amounts of high-grade Soul, Hip-hop and RnB records into his Synth-Hop style production. He’s been a busy man the last few years, releasing his debut LP Klouds on All City Dublin (Dibiase, Tokimonsta, Exile), as well as producing a track on Blu’s Warner Bros album debut, No York (sitting alongside productions by Flying Lotus and Madlib). He put out new track LendrikKamar about an hour ago – which blends Kendrick Lamar’s Toca Tuesdays freestyle with his vibey production. If you want to hear more from Knxwledge, we featured him a few weeks back in our What We’re Listening To // Vol.5 playlist, and below we’ve also posted his 35 minute Boiler Room mix, dropping tracks by Earl Sweatshirt, Flying Lotus, Kanye West, J Dilla and James Blake!
