Bleep

Leaving the hip-hop plunderphonics behind on the likes of his 2012 LP Statement Of Intent, DJ Format takes a stylistic turn with Devil’s Workshop. Made in the vein of DJ Shadow’s Endtroducing…, Format’s latest weaves classy David Axelrod-type band samples into a rich tapestry of even classier instrumentals. He lifts tones and textures from smooth jazz, lounge music, and brassy horns to craft a record fit for a trendy bachelor pad.
