Prolific is an understatement when it comes to the world of Madlib. Diving in head first, people might know him from his most recent work with Freddie Gibbs. Or they might have heard about his acid tinged alter-ego Quasimoto in a dorm room or coffee shop (ahem, imagine you weren't born post 2000). Going further back, a lot first learned of 'The Beatkonducta' with the legendary Hip Hop trio, Lootpack. Regardless of where you learned of him or how you came across any of the ever growing catalog of creations, it is a safe bet there is almost ALWAYS going to be something you never knew was another 'Madlib Invazion'. 

That said, over the last few years I've happily dug around for the often overlooked, or dare I say, forgotten (dude is P-R-O-L-I-F-I-C, no diss) Jazz catalog Madlib has managed to pump out. 'Rugged Tranquility' is my attempt at finding some of the deeper cuts in the abyss, all the while celebrating 20 years of Otis Jackson Jr's Jazz masterpieces. - PK

High Noon mix on NTS Radio

Hi Everybody. I'm very happy to start a new year to share "My Favorite" Jazz discoveries with you. For the first show of 2022, I invited the most talented, tasteful and elegant DJ from Barcelona : Virginie. For MIMS she recorded a fantastic mix, a special Broken beat session with killer tracks from 1998 to 2021.

As usual I put together a selection of some recent Future Jazz Classics including the brand new Kerbside Collection, Robert Glasper, Jimi Tenor and Kabukabu, Alex Fisher and the nice collaboration between Jazzanova, DJ Amir and the legendary Strata Records imprint.

Enjoy and take care!

Marc Mac [4hero] @Broadcite sessions - 9th BdAy set 'LIVE'  Nov 2010

To commemorate our 20th live stream, we turn the clock back to the early 2000s when we worshipped the ultimate crate digger DJ Shadow and his unique brand of sample based instrumental hip hop that influenced a legion of 45 based blazing downtempo off shoots. Get your MPCs ready as Raj spins classic and obscure samples used by shadow on his early work. It’s all vinyl and all live.
