Blend Crafters Volume 1

Rising from a rare breed of audio architects, DJ Nu-Mark is one of the seasoned few able to conjure up his own sound in time. For well over 10 years, he's been one of the West Coast's most respected hip hop producers, best known for his beat-making for Jurassic 5, alongside longtime colleague Cut Chemist.

Sculpting the entire J5 catalogue, Nu-Mark has earned towering praise for his production abilities and stage showmanship as sound selector for his MC counterparts. On 'Blend Crafters' however, Nu-Mark proves he is ready to join peers such as Madlib, Jay Dee and Hi-Tek as a formidable solo producer.

With an entire tracklist of listening highlights, Nu-Mark and Pomo venture into a realm of music unexplored until now. 'Blend Crafters' incorporates every imaginable avenue of instrumentation; from flute forays to chopped up strings to harmonious keyboard loops, this album displays an arsenal of innovative drum patterns and hand-crafted beat barrages.
