DON’T SLEEP: KODA “The Ellington Project” [BEAT TAPE]
Here’s the exact copy that is posted on KODA SoundCloud page:
“The Ellington Project is a free EP of 4 instrumental tracks produced by KODA, which all feature samples taken from Duke Ellington songs. This short EP was created out of KODA’s enjoyment of listening to Duke Ellington and his style of music; in which he considered was more “American Music” than to be titled “Jazz”. The Ellington Project has been in the archives of 45Amp Recordings for sometime, having leaked the first sample to the internet a while back, simply titled “Ellington Project”, it instantly caught peoples ears by the smooth flow of the beat and use of samples, which many people can not even ID as a Duke Ellington Sample, let alone where it originated from. 45Amp Recordings is proud to unlock this gem!”
