Brisk Fingaz (born September 25, 1980 in Hildesheim; real name Kai Aschemann) is a German hip-hop producer from Hanover. Brisk Fingaz was born in Hildesheim in the fall of 1980 under the name Kai Aschemann. He found his way into the hip-hop subculture through graffiti. His first musical influences were Die Fantastischen Vier, whose album Jetzt geht's ab was his first album. DJ Premier then became his role model. He was later influenced by rappers such as Mobb Deep, Wu-Tang Clan and Cypress Hill as well as producers Havoc, Pete Rock, Just Blaze and The Alchemist. At the age of 16, Aschemann met DJ CSP, who taught him the basic techniques of DJing, after which he purchased the digital audio workstation Samplitude Pro X for his own productions. He mainly works with samples, which he takes from the genre of progressive rock, for example. Using a keyboard, he plays instruments such as bass, strings and guitars onto the sample. He is also sometimes supported by studio musicians. In 2001, he collaborated with the rapper Spax for the first time under the pseudonym Brisk Fingaz. After the remix EP Perspektiven und Relationen, he contributed most of the instrumentals to Engel & Ratten. Brisk Fingaz then began to produce more and more for the albums of well-known rappers. He contributed to Back to the Wall by Franky Kubrick, Die linke und rechte Hand Gottes by Snaga & Pillath, Damals wie heute by Donato, Die John Bello Story by Kool Savas and Palwolf by Pal One. In March 2005, Brisk Fingaz's first producer album, entitled Gegenwind, was released on the Frankfurt label Starting Lineup Records. For this album, he recorded songs with F.R., Later One, Pillath, Beneluxus, Mr. Knight, EF-EL-OH, Noz, Egocentrik, ZM Jay Lord, Stress & Trauma, Saddam Syed, Faust, Maze and mnemonic. He then collaborated with Warheit rapper Lunafrow on the mixtape Innere Konflikte, which was released in October 2005.
