Take

Based in Los Angeles, TAKE is a composer who continues to push the boundaries of instrumental Hip Hop/Electronic Beat music into new directions. After multiple successful EP's and a full length under his belt, TAKE is set to unleash a slew of new works and remixes in 2009.

Take has long been at the center of an ever growing scene of talented musicians/producer/djs in the Los Angeles area. As a co-founder of the legendary beat showcase night "Sketchbook", he has fine crafted his dj sets for the last 10 years and also adapted his own compositions for live performance. Make sure to catch his live sets!

This music is nothing short of an epic journey with continuously evolving collages that lead the listener down a dust covered road of bit-crushed melodies and molested jazz samples and over walls of bass. Takes music is coated in emotion and rich in the complexity of its layers. The 30 year old multi-instrumentalist/dj/producer describes his music as "Rooted in Hip Hop but on a space ship headed for a new and better place... somewhere out there."
