Exile Baker's Dozen Volume 8

Only one copy per customer!
Fat Beats Records is proud to present Baker’s Dozen, an exclusive
series that shines a light on the best minds of instrumental hip-hop,
ambient, and electronic music. Each installment gives one artist
carte blanche to capture their signature sound.
Every volume’s limited vinyl pressing features one artist and twelve
tracks, and comes equipped with a 5x7” postcard insert that features
a photo of the artist’s workspace along with the equipment used
in their music-making process. Visually cohesive and packaged
with the utmost attention to detail, Baker’s Dozen is a series that
speaks up for artists whose craft renders voices superfluous, whose
instrumentals alone suffice to make a statement.
Volume eight highlights LA producer Exile, who breaks down his
creative process below:
“Making music from nothing, pre-internet you had to teach yourself
or make homies with the local legend to drop gems on their process
of making beats. Now you can take classes on how to make beats. It
doesn’t matter if you use a Roland MS1 or MPC 2000XL, sampling
records or sampling yourself playing the keys... get lost in the music,
stay thankful, and remember the feeling of why you do this. That is
my process. ”
