2012, Melting Pot Music
VINYL FORMAT. Brenk Sinatra is your favorite producer’s favorite producer. The Wien- Kaisermuehlen homeboy is a mystical figure. A West-coast rap fanatic and hardcore producer, Brenk is one of the most complete European beatmakers. You can’t pinpoint his sound but you know immediately that it’s him when you hear a Brenk production. West-coast Gangsta-rap and grimey Detroit rap are as present in his music as sweet soul from the 60s and 70s – all chopped to the max and iced out with analogue Korg lines.
Gumbo II (Pretty Ugly) marks a new state of the art for sample-based productions. Taking his trademark formula to perfection, Brenk brings together 70s soul with twisted electronica, analogue korg lines, Lil John ad-libs and police sirens, all backed by the most relentless grooves and drum-loops. While every track works for itself, Gumbo II (Pretty Ugly) takes you on a heavy ride through music history: From the embracing brazilian sounds of “Perdido“ to the grimey talkbox craze of “Wolves 2 (Still Hungy)“ and the prog-rock stompin’ “Hit U.”
