Abstract Butta Fingas aka ABF is the one true master of abstraction in the massive LA beat scene. This guy doesn't just tweak reverb and retrigger his way to wobbly beats. Instead ABF manifests the gods of Chaos to war with the quantum nature of the mythical MPC 2000xl. The result is real hip-hop experimentations which push the boundaries of the genre so far that that the sonic creations of this Pasadena Beatmaker are a genre unto themselves. 'Shakara Chakras' is minimal and sharp, with swampy sci-fi atmospheres that illicit comparisons to the global phenom that is dubstep, yet the unpredictable samples that adorn it are looped in unfathomable structures only Abstract Butta Fingas could engineer.
