We're heading to Hawaii for today's post with Nabahe's "Adidas W/ The 4 Stripes" from 2008!
Nabahe, aka James Barrie, is a left coast underground vet from Hawaii - perhaps best known currently for being part of the Los Feo Faces movement. He's been a bit aloof over the years but when he drops tunes, they're always good.
To my knowledge, "Adidas W/ The 4 Stripes" is Nabahe's first solo project. Fittingly, the project falls in line perfectly with the Grimm Image (the label that it dropped on) sound - quirky, grimey, melodic weirdness that fans of Project Blowed and Lightsleepers can enjoy alike! I'm not exactly sure what the rollout for this was as it's not available anywhere digitally to buy to my knowledge and I've unsuccessfully been trying to get my hands on a hard copy for years! If anyone has any further info, let me know. [On a side note, what is Grimm up to these days? Used to be one of the top labels imo.]
Nabahe is currently dropping lowkey projects as James Barrie and I believe he resides in Washington State. I could be wrong, but I think he may be cooking up something with Smoke M2D6? One can hope! Enjoy! [The project includes an untitled bonus track not listed on the Discogs page btw.]
