DESCRIPTION
Peace of Action is the latest release from artist Earl “Damu the Fudgemunk” Davis, and also, the newest installment of Def Pressé’s series of projects made in partnership with KPM and associated music libraries.
“It’s a pleasure to present Peace of Action. So much excitement went into the initial venture to collaborate with KPM and become part of their history. When I listen to the final album, I hear all the excitement and passion I had for the music. Discovering things in their archive helped me discover and rediscover things about myself that I usually restrict in previous work. It was fun to break some rules and still maintain some limitations especially after 20 plus years of creating music. " says Damu.
Peace of Action features 9 all new tracks, however this album contains no guests or vocals and is fully instrumental. With dozens of titles under his belt over the past 2 decades highlighting his musicality and a reputation built on beats, it may be of a surprise to many that this is the Fudgemunk’s first official instrumental project in over 7 years.
Peace of Action makes a real statement from Damu. This is a Jazz record, made with Hip Hop production
techniques. The source material is a love of the records that came before it. Literally, digging into the Jazz catalogue at KPM, taking inspiration from the material, absorbing the imagination and talent of previous com- posers, and re-imaging it through a multifaceted lens.
“It certainly reflects the accelerated changes we’ve all experienced since we entered the 2020’s. I hope the music is able to take people’s imagination to different places. I won’t give away too much detail into my person- al messaging in each track because I prefer to leave that to the audience. But, I will say that there’s a common theme of transformation throughout. I’m sure there are a few people out there that’ll pick up on exactly where I’m going. And that’s the beauty of being able to share art with the world," says Damu.
