Playing “Rhythm Roulette” With !llmind… and Patti LaBelle? (Video)
August 8, 2013
The blindfold goes on, and NYC producer !llmind goes in! Picking Patti LaBelle, QuarterHash, and Freddie Hubbert records… dude goes to work creating some track magic! Rough going at first (you’ll see); but he pulls out the banger in the end. !llmind is one of my favorite producers these days. I don’t think there’s anyone who can successfully fuse the boom bap & trap worlds together so effectively & consistently.

‘Rhythm Roulette’ With 88-Keys (Video)
April 16, 2013
Anybody can make a dope beat from digging in the crates, right? Hahahaaa…No! Now imagine if you are digging blindfolded. In effect, you’re not even consciously choosing the records to make that ‘dope beat’… Them’s the rules of Rhythm Roulette!
‘In the second installment of Rhythm Roulette we linked up with Grammy award-winning producer 88-Keys. From a Steve Martin standup record with no music to a hardcore noise metal record, 88 wasn’t given much to work with but stuck with the challenge.’
