A wealth of percussive sounds and samples are minced into a finely prepared dish of beat music on Shigeto‘s “Baker Blunt Basics.” The track, taken from the Michigan producer’s latest solo EP, Semi Circle, moves along an even-keeled trajectory, and only stops momentarily through its journey to allow brief harp and string samples to take the spotlight. By the time “Baker Blunt Basics” is over, Shigeto’s crunchy beat has come full circle through a land of familiar synths and samples all the way back to the wobbly melody that started the whole thing off.
