Introducing: Implosion Quintet
I first came across the musician James Baker of the one-man band Implosion Quintet when checking out the site of super overpriced Chinese worker shoes, where some of his music was streaming. “Dope”, I thought; the instrumental hip-hop inspired track mixed in with Asian string instruments (which one, specifically, I don’t know) was perfect, mellow.

Upon listening to Blitz the Ambassador‘s album, Stereotype, you can almost swear you are listening to a modern rendition of Phil Spector’s “Wall of Sound” method.
