Estelate has been producing beats since around 2014 and currently lives in Dortmund, Germany. At that time he was still active under the Aka Sessionmacher and started producing beats with an MPC 1000 and FL Studio. Grew up with the sound of the golden era hip hop of the 90s and, like so many at the time, was heavily influenced by producers like Pete Rock, Madlib, J Dilla and 9th Wonder. He now tries out different musical avenues, plays several instruments in addition to the drum machine such as bass guitar and trumpet and always tries to explore the familiar boundaries.
