Regular readers of Word Is Bond will no doubt be aware of the talented German Hip Hopper Evan Awake. With an ear for a beat, a feel for rhymes and a talented producer's touch his mash ups were, while sometimes unorthodox, always on point. However his mash up output has noticably slowed in recent times as he makes his name with his own music after having honed his craft, and finally he announces that this will be his last one, dedicated to the one and only Nujabes. A dedication to Nujabes and my last mashup. Maybe one day [...]
NAK contacted us with this fresh album by the name of "Fruits: The Mixtape" this here if for all fans of the like of Nujabes, Marcus D, Evan Awake..etc, fans of those Japanese oriented beats. NAK has appeared before on WIB on some of Evan Awake's work...and he still comes across as a very promising
Evan Awake - Das Gegenmittel feat. Zeta The final coda of Evan Awake's overture before his first 'solo' release Minowa, scheduled for the end of April. He flips some Anime OST and Zeta, despite not understanding a word (I did French instead of German at school!), comes in with a real nice flow. Evan Awake made his name with mash ups, demonstrating an impressive ear for beats and acapellas and they are all real nice (go check his Youtube for download links), but this is the first of his releases which I think is [...]
Ok, this is a lil project I've been working on the past month or so. It's a mix of some of my favourite artists and tracks from the past few months and some older, kinda unique, tracks I been listening to for a while. It's not all stuff that's been previously featured on Word Is Bond, infact in this compilation there's an unreleased track and a fresh exclusive . If you like it please don't hesitate to drop a comment and spread the word! Really pleased with how this turned out so make sure you listen. [...]

I hit up Evan Awake the other day to ask him some questions and he kindly agreed. WIB's put all of his previous stuff up here and he seems pretty popular amongst the readership but for those who dont know, he's a real talented producer who specialises in mashups but also sometimes does his own beats and recently put out a mix; check out our previous posts on him here or drop in on his Youtube channel . Anyway, you can read the interview after the jump. [...]
Fresh from dropping a collab beat tape with Breezewax Evan Awake, a German producer who focuses on mash ups but makes his own beats, dropped this mix, his first. It's a dope 40 minute journey through the kind of music he likes, alotta funky, jazzy hip hop that you might expect from him like Nujabes, supplemented with a bit music from other genres too. This is just Side A of the tape, no doubt he'll put up Side B pretty soon so keep an eye out on his Youtube channel [...]
Evan Awake - Misguided Miscreants Breezewax - Cascade Meditation Ever since I first heard Evan Awake's mashups I loved the dude and now, at last and in collaboration with UK beatmaker Breezewax, he's released his first beat tape eight tracks strong with the two producers going half and half. And while Evan Awake might already be a name that readers of WIB are pretty familiar with, this is a nice introduction to Breezewax if you missed soul's post last week who's beats are really, really nice. Real dope [...]

And i was lucky enough to be able to include a unreleased Marcus D song. So although you may already have most of these songs i hope its worth downloading [...]
