Music We Love :: Madlib Medicine Show

One of L.A.’s hardest working producers is working a little harder this year. Madlib’s Medicine Show is a once-a-month series of albums (that’s right, twelve albums in twelve months) that began back in January, the odd numbers being original production from Madlib, the even numbers mash-ups of some of the producer’s favorite obscure material. So far we’ve gotten everything from a Brazillian Funk mix (#2 in February) to the release of Madlib’s pre-2000 beat-tapes (#5 in May), and we’re now in the halfway-mark limbo between an excellent mix of bizarre foreign prog-rock (#6 in June) and this month’s original-production installation, High Jazz (#7).  Madlib’s been on the scene since the late-90′s, crafting albums of hip-hop, jazz, R&B, Latin, and instrumentals at a staggering rate. If you’re a die-hard Madlib fan, be sure to pick up High Jazz when it drops on the 27th. If you’ve never heard of the man, the Medicine Show series is a perfect chance to get a feel for this many-talented producer’s unbeatable and incomparable style.
