Karate Bikes is the brainchild of New York-based composer Steve Sopchak. With an amalgam of analog textures and front-line production techniques, Karate Bikes weaves together a sound that is both casually cool and dangerously addictive. Built on a foundation of retro-inspired drum tones, funk-era bass lines, and an eclectic assortment of organic percussion, these tracks convey a confident, rebellious energy that pairs exceptionally well with video. By filtering many of the most novel instruments of yesteryear through new and innovative methods of digital production, Karate Bikes makes a musical statement that is equally as tough as it is irreverent; a satisfying hybrid of vintage and modern that never feels like a compromise.
