Klaus Layer ft. ScienZe & Blu “Come Back” | @REDEFrecords @dopeScienZe @HerFavColor

I keep listening to this, and know I’ve sampled the same song Klaus Layer did for “Come Back”, yet I can’t put my finger on it. Anyways, aside from this track with ScienZe and Blu, producer Klaus Layer just dropped a 6-track project with Redefinition Records that you can cop and listen to from their site here. Check all of this goodness out!

Klaus Layer (previously known as Captain Crook) was always interested in eastern German art and music, but it was the fall of the Berlin Wall that truly opened up new opportunities for him to explore a wider range of art and foreign cultures. Klaus was born in Oranienburg, Germany, and while his preference for 90’s hip-hop music and the influence of a local graffiti scene can be seen and heard in his work, he has his own distinct identity as a creator. Klaus cites artists like Michael Hamel, Günther Fischer, Can, Pete Rock, Damu the Fudgemunk and Lord Finesse as sources of inspiration, just as much as he does the Surrealist style of art as well as the audio & visuals found in old movies from the 50s-70s. All of Layer’s artistic influences, along with some non-traditional sampling resources have creatively been morphed together via his instrument of choice, a sampler, into a unique style of instrumental music full of rich layers, including all sorts of percussive and melodic patterns. If you know what Redef stands for and the status of the artists on our roster, than you already know what to expect from klaus: Quality.
