BBE are pleased to announce the signing of DJ/producer The Last Skeptik. Following in the label’s footsteps of releasing instrumental led hip-hop albums from J Dilla, Pete Rock & Will.i.am, The Last Skeptik’s album ‘Thanks for Trying’ see’s him backed by an orchestra’s worth of musicians, as his hip hop-rooted production is taken to cinematic heights. This album will be a classic.
For those unfamiliar with The Last Skeptik’s work, he has worked with a varied list of musicians, including The King Blues, Sway, Get Cape Wear Cape Fly, Jehst and Lowkey, and has remixed everyone from The Streets to Marina & The Diamonds.
The Last Skeptik has come a long way from building his first beats whilst skipping class at school. From releasing his debut single in 2004 featuring Sway, he has been steadily gaining fans with his production prowess.
2013’s ‘Thanks for Trying’ mine a similar vein to artists like DJ Shadow, Cut Chemist, DJ Vadim and many more – yet still has the trademark stamp that now comes with each slab of Last Skeptik goodness.
