Deluxe extremely limited transparent cloudy clear color 12" version of Cakes Da Killa's Svengali album
Cakes has little left to prove - PITCHFORK
there's been a hip-hop and house crossover building for decades that deserves recognition…At the forefront of New York's house-rap scene since 2011, the introspective Cakes toes the line between bounce and thought. - NPR
Cakes Da Killa seamlessly blends club music with hip-hop — just like he has over the past decade. - CONSEQUENCE OF SOUND
New Jersey hip-hop / house innovator Cakes Da Killa has announced his long-awaited second album Svengali available October 28th via the TOKiMONSTA owned label Young Art Records. With it Cakes adds another landmark to his catalog and brings the long-running relationship between hip-hop and house music into a new chapter. Today you can watch a video for the new and seductive title track “Svengali”, in which Cakes presses pause on the real-time rundown of a decadent night out to whisper a question to the object of his interest: “I know you’re touching me / but are you feeling me?” The single follows “Drugs Du Jour” and “Sip Of My Sip” both of which are included on the album.
Svengali is a cinematic experience, charting a love affair from hookup to breakup, with all of the highs and lows of romance and attraction in between. Always a brutally (and hilariously) unfiltered voice, the album sees Cakes bringing a new layer of vulnerability and depth to his writing, charting the vicissitudes of love in and out of the club. Coming on the heels of the high-energy cult-favorite Muvaland Vol. 1 & 2 mixtapes (but recorded before either of them), Svengali dials back the manic, rave-till-dawn energy in favor of beats by producer Sam Katz that offer more subtle moods, as well as a jazz influence that connects Cakes to the early days of queer culture that bubbled up out of New York jazz clubs and the sonically ambitious jazz lovers who pioneered house music.

Raven is gentle, the rhythms are like a breath brushing the surface of the skin, the music has the consistency of a cloud, weighless, no sweat here or grit, effortless glide, as heavy as a memory or fleeting as a thought.

Stunning genre mashup between hip-hop, electronic, r&b, and all sorts of other surprising sounds. Great singing and rapping, fascinating beats, and song structures that keep shifting and mutating. A super album. Mike Gintz
