# Es-K

Producer Beatmaker Engineer

since 2014

Musician and beatmaker releasing under the moniker Es-K (Essential Knowledge), with more than 60 albums and beat tapes since 2010. Based in Burlington, Vermont, he builds jazz-tinged lo-fi hip hop and boom-bap instrumentals rooted in sample digging, crisp drums, and laid-back atmosphere. His catalog spans Cold Busted and other beat labels, plus a deep Bandcamp archive of beat tapes and collaborations with vocalists. Spotify editorial-adjacent playlisting in the lo-fi / jazz beats lane has helped grow a steady mid-tier audience. Latest single Soakin' up the vibes dropped in June 2026, continuing a long streak of consistent original production. Music and art updates live at beatsbyesk.com, with active Instagram, Bandcamp, and SoundCloud channels for fans and collaborators.
