TOKiMONSTA - You Don’t Need Pepto, You Need Some Beats, Brainfeeder mix
I say TOKiMONSTA, you think?? Let’s try and paint a picture.
Jennifer Lee aka TOKiMONSTA comes straight out of the very hyped LA scene tight with FlyLo and his Brainfeeder crew. She’s Korean-American, born and raised in Torrance, CA in Los Angeles County and got into making beats at college, with a dab hand in piano, clarinet, drums and guitar. With her unoffical title of “First Lady of Brainfeeder” earned from this mix featured above, back in May 2009.
“Flying Lotus called me that on the BF site and I find it really nuts how that title has stuck ever since. As far as how I hooked up with them, I guess it was just the course of nature bringing like-minded people together. We all knew each other before I was even a part of the crew–the LA beat scene is an intimate community. I was actually taken by surprise when Flylo asked if I wanted to do something with BF because I never once bugged him to put me on or anything. All in all, I’m very thankful for that moment and everyone who has been supportive of me since.”
With huge support coming fresh of the back of her “Cosmic Intoxication EP” release, now available via Bleep, here’s a few tasters of her style.
