Master manipulator
Guess the composer:
Now that’s what you want a musician to do: see into the future by listening to the past to remake the present.
Beethoven? Brahms? Try Madlib, aka the Beat Konducta.
The quote comes from a recent profile of the prolific beatmaker and avant-jazz explorer by Paul Morley of The Guardian. If you’re not familiar with Madlib – ‘master manipulator of history’ and one of the most essential young musicians in the world today – Stones Throw will take care of that for you.
Update: ST just offered up a few tracks from Madlib’s forthcoming Beat Konducta in Africa release.
