Land Of 1000 Chances, (Dj) Day’s second release, finds him at his most experimental and ambitious. Though the album spans diverse genres from instrumental rock and jazz to straightforward hip hop, it remains firmly rooted in the outsider beat-smith field Day helped pioneer with his seminal release The Day Before (MPM, 2008).
On Land of 1000 Chances, Day mines a set of emotional and deeply personal events to procure a swirling mixture of samples and live playing. Executive produced by legendary Thes One of People Under The Stairs and accompanied by Kat O1O (Crown City Rockers), Ken Belcher and a host of other top players, the album transcends the beatmaker genre and becomes a living opus. An honest and beautiful instrumental album that is already becoming a favorite of critics worldwide:

“Something in the energy of the desert,
a magical and funky energy, just permeates through the veins of DJ Day.
And you hear that in his music – it’s beautiful and thoughtful and
spiritual and it’s a aural window into the soul of this dude. Decidedly
21st Century yet still harkens back to all the decades of history and
influence of everything that came before it. Truly gorgeous music, and
it strikes me to my core each time I listen to it.”- Cosmo Baker (The Rub)
“Introspective yet candid. In Day’s
‘Land Of 1000 Chances’, there’s a sincerity that bares itself in every
beat and live instrument throughout this masterwork, as crisp and vast
as a desert night. In the current climate of over-enhanced production,
Day refreshingly strips it down, leaving the natural beauty of his
arrangements with no makeup – no overstating of themes, rather implying
or alluding in a way that reveals itself in multiple listens. While
produced in essence from a b-boy approach, there’s a maturity and
bravery that glows from this record down the shady and sunny paths of
his life.” – Jeremy Sole (89.9 KCRW, LA)
The limited edition LP pressing (1000
units) features a PETA approved alternative leather, handmade casebound
cover with foil stamping. Each LP is adorned with a removable Polaroid
photograph on the front and custom wrapped.
