Damu The Fudgemunk – Conversation Peace

Vinyl 12"

Conversation Peace sees acclaimed producer Damu the Fudgemunk craft a rich collection of beats, rhythms and cinematic soundscapes using material drawn from the legendary KPM/EMI Music Library. Home to more than 30,000 recordings dating back to 1956, the London archive opened its vaults through a collaboration with Def Presse, making Damu the first producer to explore its remarkable catalogue. Following the success of Ocean Bridges, the Washington, D.C.-based producer travelled to London, spending a week crate digging for hidden gems that would form the foundation of this inspired project.

The result is a nine-track album packed with soulful boom bap, jazz-infused samples and meticulously crafted production. Highlights include the head-nodding "Power of Mind" featuring Raw Poetic, the cinematic "God Speed" with Blu, and "For Better or Worse Pt. 1", featuring Nitty Scott on her first collaboration with Damu. Blurring the line between obscure samples and live instrumentation, Conversation Peace showcases Damu the Fudgemunk's exceptional ear for texture, rhythm and atmosphere. Richly layered and effortlessly cohesive, it is an essential release for fans of instrumental hip-hop, jazz-influenced beats and sophisticated, sample-driven production.
