Fan-Tas-Tic, Volume 1

Slum Village

Unquantized rhythm and dusty soul. This is the blueprint for the Detroit sound, defined by warm MPC grooves and liquid-smooth vocal chemistry.

Find on Amazon

The album that taught hip-hop how to swing and made every producer want an MPC.

A laid-back, soulful confidence that feels like a warm conversation in a smoke-filled room.

Moments Worth Waiting For
the way the drums on The Look of Love feel like they are stumbling forward without ever losing the pocket
the sudden transition into the remix of This Beat where the bassline thickens and the atmosphere darkens
those brief interludes where the raw studio chatter makes you feel like you are sitting on the couch next to Dilla
