2010 has been a productive year for multi-faceted producer/songwriter Machinedrum. In addition to his critically-acclaimed releases on LuckyMe (Many Faces) and Hotflush (Love Pressure – as Sepalcure with Praveen Sharma), a collaboration with Harlem MC Azealia Banks, as well as a slew of remix work for artists ranging from Ninjasonik, SBTRKT to Jimmy Edgar, Machinedrum now has the pleasure of releasing with Innovative Leisure the upcoming 12-inch EP of “Let It”, from his 2009 album Want To 1 2.
Featuring Brooklyn MC/vocalist Melo-X, “Let It” is being released with a remix from L.A.’s own Edit from the Glitch Mob crew and San Francisco duo Lazer Sword. The EP also features the previously unreleased “Flud” – an original track that once again shows the growth and versatility of the artist who is becoming increasingly recognized as electronic music’s Renaissance man. Street date Nov 2nd, available digitally at Stonesthrow now. Innovative Leisure

OJ Simpson. That’s the name of the album. No bloody gloves. No Ford Broncos. These are some 12 hard-hitting hip-hop tracks featuring Guilty’s inimitable baritone, and an equal number of Madlib’s signature album-as-soundtrack/radio/sideshow arrangements, where the beat & sequence is as important as the rap. This, with a couple no-nonsense guest appearances, some cuts by J.Rocc, and a whole bunch of attitude, makes up one of our favorite projects in a while.
The charisma that Detroit’s heavy hitting MC Guilty Simpson and the Los Angeles based Beat Konducta Madlib share testifies to a musical kinship that is rare in today’s rapper-as-an-accessory marketplace. Going back to Guilty’s first appearance on wax (Jaylib’s “Strapped”–2003), Guilty over a Madlib beat to us is like hearing Guru over Premier circa Daily Operation, or CL over Pete around the time of “Straighten It Out.” Some times, a rapper and a producer just work well together. Album drops May 18. stonesthrow

Secondhand Sureshots is a filmed experiment in creative sound recycling. Dublab directors Bryan “Morpho” Younce & Mark “frosty” McNeill sent beatmakers Daedelus, Nobody, J.Rocc and Ras G on safari into L.A. thrift stores with orders to make new music out of five finds while the cameras filmed the whole process. The result is a mini-documentary about putting new life into old vinyl. Over 2 hours of footage, music & bonus material. Stonesthrow
