A mix of rock records either from, or similar to those used for Madlib's Rock Konducta series.
This is a mix of late 60s to mid 70s rock music from all over the world: America to Germany to Japan and everywhere in-between. It's the type of rock Madlib used for the Rock Konducta records, and is a mixture of the incredibly rare and random dollar bin finds that makes crate digging in the rock idiom so much fun. A lot of this is underground (one example was literally recorded by Dusseldorf twenty-somethings in a bomb-shelter, a literally exorcising of Nazi demons through Krautrock), and some of it is from bands that had pop aspirations but recorded something heavy and probably a bit odd as the one-off awesome track on an otherwise forgettable album. Live mix using 2 CDJs, no edits, some mistakes, that's the way it goes. Shout outs to Twink, Bunker Records, Franz Wippel, any band that spells April with a "y" instead of an "i," state-run labels from former communist countries who had the nerve to get down with hard psych and Madlib, of course, for finding the funk in all of this.
