One of the hardest working and innovative artists around today, Akira The Don, has an output that is so prolific that it would put a highly prolific production machine thingie to shame (I am far to groggy to create anything in the form of methaphor today.) As we all wait with anticipation for album number two, a cd/mp3 “Thieving” has been keeping us all entertained in the meantime. Available from his website here
it is well worth the listen and is available at a ridiculously meagre price (So you really have no excuse).
In a contrived, saturated industry, originality and raw talent are rarely built upon. Akira’s work stands out so much because, he never for a moment rests on his laurel’s. Tracks are regularly reworked, old favourites manipulated, soundscapes altered. His website is the ultimate insight into the ongoing creative process, juxtaposed with detailed accounts of the effort involved to achieve anything in the world of music. His second music video in as many weeks, here, for your enjoyment is; Akira The Don’s “Click Clack Blam” Remix
