Raw Data Chips is Ikabod Bum's latest beatstrumental compilation, which pairs Northern California's beat-making scene with beatmisers from across the U.S. and abroad. The artists, handpicked by Ikabod, represent a kaleidoscopic array of styles in their respective raw essence. Ikabod’s personal obsession with the fusion between man and beat-making machines rotates throughout the compilation in cohesive and revealing fashion by way of intermittent “Bot” transmissions that shed light on the art form of beat-making.

Ikabod Bum lives as a beat maker and prose writer from the Northern California’s Central Valley. He is a 2011 Caliwide Beat Battle Finalist (soundcloud.com/ikabod-bum/novel-bevel-instrumental) and Top 10 Finalist in DJ Shadow’s 2011 Remix Competition with Little Dragon.
