Makaya McCraven 'Off the Record' 2LP pre-order (release date 10th October)
Makaya McCraven - 'Off the Record’ 2LP.
Internationally acclaimed drummer, producer, and sonic collagist Makaya McCraven returns to announce four distinct yet interconnected EPs - ‘Techno Logic’, ‘The People’s Mixtape’, ‘Hidden Out!’, and ‘PopUp Shop’ - to be released on all music platforms October 31st. The four EPs are also compiled on a 2xLP physical release titled ‘Off the Record’, available for preorder now and in stores October 10th. Together they mark McCraven’s first recorded offerings since 2022’s ‘In These Times’ (“McCraven’s most ambitious set of music” -GRAMMY) and a deep return to the signature “organic beat music” approach that Makaya first debuted on his 2015 album ‘In The Moment’ and further developed across subsequent releases ’Highly Rare’ (2017), ‘Where We Come From’ (2018), and ‘Universal Beings’ (2018). Built from live recordings, the music is later reshaped by McCraven via extensive editing, overdubs, and post-production at his home studio in Chicago.
This 2LP is released on Friday 10th October.
