LP version. Medicine Walk is the solo debut from Danish producer Rasmus Mobius (Melk). The title was coined several years ago, when working a temp job in a medical factory. Since then, the music and Rasmus' employment situation has both evolved significantly. Drawing from the obvious influences of dub and hip-hop, Rasmus mixes these ingredients, adds a flavor of Brian Eno and a hint of jazz, and comes out with a very consistent, warm and steady album. The analog feel is underpinned by inclusion of synth and trumpet players Nikolaj Hoi and Tav Klitgaard. Tracks vary from right-on steady head nodders to slowly evolving almost ambient tracks, always supported by the ever persistent heavy bassline. Rasmus has been producing music for several years, and has a long list of compilation contributions and remixes behind him. His sound has evolved over time, from clicky electronica to the insisting, dubby sound of his present album. His work as part of the dub-hop duo Melk has influenced his sound (and vice-versa) and helped define the solo work, although there's some very distinctive qualities to Medicine Walk.
