Listen to first track “Cooler Of Evidence” featuring N8NOFACE
“I’m so glad the world finally gets to hear the debut album of
one of the most influential DJs of the beat movement.”
Flying Lotus
“Kutmah keeps the torch lit for the loop diggin’ dirt choppin’
heads. He’s been doing this for almost 20 damn years now
and his music always got that signature hip hop foundation
that we know and love, with those unexpected DJ
moments colouring the story even more.”
The Gaslamp Killer
Kutmah (pronounced koot/mah) will release his long overdue debut album The Revenge Of Black Belly Button! (or TROBBB!) out Friday August 11 on Big Dada via Inertia Music. The record features an incredible cast of guests – Gonjasufi, Jonwayne, Natureboy Flako, Ta’Raach, Jeremiah Jae, Zeroh, Zackey Force Funk, N8NOFACE, Sach, Akello G Light and DJ Chris P Cuts – spanning experimental meditative, Zennist loops; crackly oddball beats and abstract raps; as far as outright punk/noise and even folk/blues.
LISTEN TO “COOLER OF EVIDENCE”
Heralded by Flying Lotus as “one of the most influential DJs of the beat movement”, Kutmah’s skills and vision as a producer are brought to the fore on TROBBB! which is an incredibly sentimental record, heavily referential to his past but also future-facing, and not just in its sonics. “I wanted to make a record for loners,“ he laughs. “You know some records have that ‘Hey! I’m at a festival!’ sound? Well I wanted to do the opposite of that.”
It’s fitting that the album arrives via Big Dada – a label that helped shape his vision. “Big Dada started the same year I started DJing. Not DJing in clubs or making tapes. Literally when I first touched turntables,” he explains. “I knew I had to find that other type of music to fit where my head was at. Leftfield beats and abstract rhymes were what I was looking for and alongside Jazz Fudge, Mo Wax, Asphodel and Fondle ‘Em, Big Dada was what I was digging.”
