Madlib previews Four Tet collaborative album Sound Ancestors

Sound Ancestors, Madlib's forthcoming project with Keiran Hebden, is due in January. Hear the first track below. 

Here's the scoop from Keiran Hebden:

"A few months ago I completed work on an album with my friend Madlib that we’d been making for the last few years. He is always making loads of music in all sorts of styles and I was listening to some of his new beats and studio sessions when I had the idea that it would be great to hear some of these ideas made into a Madlib solo album. Not made into beats for vocalists to use but instead arranged into tracks that could all flow together in an album designed to be listened to start to finish. I put this concept to him when we were hanging out eating some nice food one day and we decided to work on this together with him sending me tracks, loops, ideas and experiments that I would arrange, edit, manipulate and combine. I was sent hundreds of pieces of music over a couple of years stretch and during that time I put together this album with all the parts that fitted with my vision."

RIP Jef Gilson, 1926 - 2012

A tribute from Kieran Hebden aka Four Tet
Very sad to hear that the French musician and producer Jef Gilson passed away today at the age of 86. Here is a tribute that I made to him back in 2004... the track is built from samples of his music and productions on his label Palm.
