40 Winks

40 Winks. Instrumental hip-hop out of Belgium, the duo of Padmo' and Weedy. They met in the late '90s and started DJing together, and their early beats sampled bossa nova, sax riffs and dusty jazz records. Albums include The Lucid Effect (2008) on Project: Mooncircle and It's The Trip (2011). 'We're Flying' is track 2 on Field Recordings (Project: Mooncircle, September 3rd, 2021), their first album in ten years. It's made partly from sounds caught on the road with their favourite Tascam, plus live piano, xylophone, guitar and flute. Why the gap? Weedy told XLR8R they both had kids and free time became an issue.
