Madlib has released the full details of his rock-inspired beat tape Rock Konducta.
According to a press release, Rock Konducta is inspired by “various worldwide rock scenes from the 60s through the 80s, from American psychedelia to Germany’s Krautrock to acid-soaked Spanish prog to synthy, early-80s oddities”.
The first half was released on vinyl earlier this year, with the full package coming on 15 July. It’ll feature “Black Dreams (Sludge Fight)”, which you can stream right now below:
