Ekiti Son lives in the deep south of London. He is as reclusive as the late great J Dilla was. His beats fall somewhere in beyond Flying Lotus, Madlib, MF Doom and Dilla himself. I say beyond, because Ekiti Son's eclecticism is British. His beats are for the coffee table, to be chewed over by aficionados and ultra-hipsters.
It's hard to know where to start with Ekiti Son's output. He has already put out so much material on his Bandcamp page. So I´ve gone with a selection: Ekiti Son Specialities, which is a wicked beat tape featuring the choicest samples. A must for any beat head or budding MC...
And then I must include one of Ekiti Son´s own albums - the mighty Incarnadine.
Show some love for this music - and for artists publishing themselves :)
