The Madlib Invazion Music Library Series was created by Madlib and Egon
over the course of the Pandemic, and was a chance to give their creative
friends the ability to stretch out and indulge in whatever type of
music they wanted for release on the label.
The music had to be great and able to be presented as a stand alone
album – like the best “Music Library” releases of the past, on labels
like Italy’s Sermi, Germany’s Bruton, France’s MP2000 and the UK’s
DeWolfe. And, like those albums, it had to work as easy, one-stop
clearance for background cues in film and television production and, as
producers have been indulging since the 1990s, for sampling.
The series contains 12 releases by DJ Muggs, Karriem Riggins, J-Zone,
the Heliocentrics’ Malcolm Catto and Jake Ferguson, JJ Whitefield of
Karl Hector/Whitefield Brothers/Poets of Rhythm, Motif Alumni and Music
Research Library, Mario Luciano of Polyphonic Music Library, Henkel,
Gabriel Rowland of Los Yesterdays, Dan Hastie and Terin Ector of Orgone,
Dan Ubick and Joe Harrison
The albums will be released on the Madlib Invazion Bandcamp on the first
Friday of each month over the course of one year. Listen, ponder,
repeat.
