Product Information
The E&A album production is anchored by DJ Abilities’ tight jazz-hop minimalism, while spotlighting his skills as a turntablist as well. From the explosive opener “Reintroducing,” Abilities pairs rigid drum loops and upright bass with live scratches, showcasing his precision.
Throughout the album, his jazz-inflected touches—piano vamps, upright bass, subtle flute and organ samples—lend tracks like “Now,” “One Twenty” and “Glass” an atmospheric sophistication that resonates even without vocals. Meanwhile his scratches appear as musical commentary, whether engaging call-and-response or turning solos like “Two Men and a Lady” into narratives of their own.
The instrumental version of E&A is ideal for cinematic-driven playlists and focused listening, offering a journey that's sparse yet layered, rhythmic yet expressive, and rich in turntable artistry.
