Crookram is an exceptional sample-master with a touch of genius having no insistence on any particular style alone. His music has been made so colourful by using an unusually rich variety of downtempo, funk, hip hop, nu jazz elements and breakz. Among his other master pieces,
01. Hostile (4'09") 02. Tomorrow All Right (4'34") 03. Biggles (3'05") 04. Balboa (2'59") 05. A Day in the Life (3'45")
First release from hiphop collaborators Sagesse & Crookram titled Escape, the E.P. This dynamical duo hails from The Netherlands and brings us a surprisingly fresh collection of hiphop tracks. Their music is a rich variety of 70sjazz, reggae and funk samples combined with modern hiphopbeats.

label: BudaBeats release: 2010.03.05. style:Down-tempo / Hip Hop / Experimental quality: 320 kbps, stereo mp3 time: 52'59" Two years since his latest release on the Budabeats netlabel, Crookram is finally coming out with a new album. If you're familiar with his previous work this album might be somewhat of a surprise. It has been a couple of years in the making, during which time musical genres like soul, funk, hiphop and library music have been combined with modern downtempo beats and movie samples to create a funky yet dusty seventies vibe. You can expect scratchy records, mysterious movie samples and a great talent for production, elements which have been praised already by many people involved in the downtempo scene.
