Madlib Releases 30-Minute Set For Free mp3 Download

Madlib performed for Radio Nova in Paris last week, and Stone’s Throw has released the live 30-minute set for free download.

The set has starts with swing jazz, and then evolves into electronica, then combines jazz afro-beat, classical, and latin music with Madlib’s own flavor of hip hop, with very creative selections in each genre. Here’s the direct link:

The mix of different genres and the specific track selection are the best things about the set, but I also like how Madlib lets each sample play for just the right amount of time; you get the full impression of the loop or sound clip, and the music changes often, from Caribbean to funk, disco to dub. All, of course, with the Madlib touch.

Also, make sure to check out Sia, the vocalist behind downtempo group Zero 7, as well as !!! (Chk Chk Chk), live at Moshcam.com.

Who else do you think should release live recordings?
