Egon Rock Mix - Mixed by Egon



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.

Egon's Dust and Groove Mixtape & Interview



Here is an excellent mix from Egon filled with all sorts of gems most of us will never own. As good as the mix is, I highly recommend everybody read the interview of Egon as well. I just found it quite refreshing to read Egon's take on his passion for records and how it relates to his views on life, family, and the world. You can read the interview HERE.

Video: Stones Throw Crew Crate Diggin'

Cool little video from back in 2007 showing PB Wolf, J. Rocc, Egon, Madlib, and Doom diggin for records in a Canadian record store.
