Okapi uses his turntables and computer to create music completely outside of the hip-hop school of chopped up music. Instead he has created some albums that veers from orchestral to lounge to quirky experimental music, while maintaining a delicate and spacious sound throughout.
His skill at sample manipulation is really quite amazing. In his live-set Okapi mix techno / broken beat / electro / 8-bit with melodies including klezmer, polk, childrens’ music, idiot-pop, hawaian music.
