"Es-K (Essential Knowledge) was born in Holland, raised in Kansas City, Missouri, and currently lives in Burlington, Vermont. He starting seriously making beats as a teenager, with his first release coming out on the Cold Busted label in 2011. \u200B\u200BEs-K is also known for his monthly Spontaneous Grooves releases, where a set of instrumental tracks are created in one sitting, the result being truly \u2018spontaneous\u2019 and diverse. This exemplifies Es-K\u2019s prolific and workman-like ethos of beat-making, with creative and top notch hip hop soundscapes constantly pouring out of his Vermont studio. \u200B\u200B \u200B\u200B\nPassages is Es-K\u2019s latest release for Cold Busted and it shows his growth as a rhythm-obsessed music producer. With guitar and occasional keys by friend Max Bronstein-Paritz and a couple of crucial studio collaborations with fellow Vermont beat-maker Loupo, \u200B\u200BPassages adds extra depth and musicality to Es-K\u2019s drum mechanics. The album opens wistfully with \u201CIEV\u201D, offering a minute and a half of instrument textures and snatches of percussion before the full beat kicks in. \u201CMonastic\u201D showcases Max\u2019s funky guitar contribution, \u201CElevation\u201D features some deep bass line play, and \u201CMistakes Made\u201D is filled with melodic layers and melancholic moods. These are just some of the highlights from this twelve track album \u2026 Es-K satisfyingly goes beyond the beats throughout."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
