Words & album testimonial from Dirty Hairy:

Stanley Pedigree and I spent the best part of 5 years hitting the studio a couple of times a month together. During those times we’d continually vibe off of good conversation, good beer, good rakija, a show we’d just played and whanau. More often I’d make a beat right there and then, and it would either spawn a verse or be a catalyst for an idea. Other times we’d just play records and talk about music or just light some Incense, and eat good food. Kids wandering in and out, plus the odd chinking of bottles and laughter. It would all boil down to us noodling about and creating something. During that half a decade I made around 20 tracks for Stan (or with him in mind) and he cherry picked 7 that go together like hummus and flatbread. In the fragrance of this project is straight jazzy Hip-Hop and I wanted to make the tracks with just piano, horns and drums samples from vinyl. We definitely paid homage to an analogue leaning sound in the production here.
