News: Join 40 Winks on a road trip to anywhere

Bring your music player and tell your honey you won’t be home for dinner. It’s the trip, not the destination. That’s exactly what the upcoming album ‘It’s The Trip’ is all about. ‘No hay banda!’ (‘There is no band’, Mulholland Dr. 2001) pretty much sums up where 40 Winks aims to go with its instrumental hip hop: meticulously chop and paste samples together, to create an atmosphere of beats and vibes which steps beyond unimaginative loops.
