Via Rucksack – LTF (Light The Fuse) has a knack for finding breaks, horns, flutes, double basses, and vocal fragments that are waiting for him in the dustiest and deepest crates of vinyl. ‘Monolith’ is the official follow-up to 2018’s ‘Jazz Echo’ LP.

The record is crafted from sampling rare Soviet jazz and funk records from his home country of Russia and other former Soviet countries. Skillfully turned into deep and heavy instrumental hip-hop, using analog synthesizers, dub techniques, and subtle knob turns on a delay pedal to morph the context of these samples.
