Knxwledge.

Who the hell is Knxwledge ? The guy keeps dropping consistent beat music week after week. Ok, 4-track EPs are not albums but still... his shit is plain beats, made of chopped samples and synths. 
Getting info about this talented beatmaker wasn't an easy task. He's that kind of guy who has a day job, makes beats at work on his computer, and deliver the heat over the web when the night comes. 
Among the pile (so to speak, it's only .mp3 files) of mini projects, Knxwledge also released an album, "Klouds", through the fast growing Irish label All City Records, home of French beatsmith Onra. Though, once again, the album is only available in digital format. Well, as a matter of fact, the Philly boy is the product of his time, enjoying a wide exposure on the internet (let's say... Facebook, Tumblr, Soundcloud, Bandcamp and I forgot about MySpace, because it's no more relevant) while making few appearances that would allow us to know more about him and his creative process.  

It's only right to say his style reminds, among the beat scene, of the Brainfeeder stable. Well, the connection already exists, as Teebs is responsible for the artwork on "Klouds", and is likely to be in charge of the artwork of the sequel. It wouldn't be surprising that, after his recent collabo with genius MC Blu, Knxwledge would sign with Flying Lotus' label. Now, that would be a combo. 

For now, his last EP : "Konsistensi", for streaming here
