Hot Sugar

Allow me to introduce you to Hot Sugar (Nick Koenig) an NYC based producer.  It’s fitting that Koenig takes his name from a condiment found in most kitchens, because his beatmaking process often involves items you may find in a kitchen sink.  Utilizing any object available, Koenig constructs songs by recording everyday sounds, mixing them with funky rhythms and other effects.  He linked up with Dame Dash’s Creative Control crew, so I’m sure we will be seeing more videos such as the one below that documents the beat making process for Koenig.  It is definitely worth watching as Koenig plays a guitar in his shower, records a fat dude passed out on his carpet, and is joined by a tattooed senior citizen hitting a drum.

We also have a finished product on our hands with “Color Wars” featuring Aaron Livingston.  The song is off Muscle Milk, a free EP from Hot Sugar that is coming soon.  Check it all out below.
