Madlib, one of hip-hop’s most inventive and prolific producers has released a series of instrumental beat records under the series name Beat Konducta, and each installment of the series has focused on a particular genre or particular area of interest — Movie Scenes is pretty self-explanatory; Beat Konducta in India had Madlib focusing on found sounds from Bollywood and other Indian genres; A Tribute to J. Dilla focused on the work of the beloved producer J. Dilla; Beat Konducta in Africa focused on the African rock scene of the 70s with an intense focus on Zambia’s Zamrock; and interestingly enough, the fifth installment, Rock Konducta focus on garage rock — but in a global sense across the 60s through 80s and includes American psychedelia to Germany’s Krautrock to acid-soaked Spanish prog to synthy, early-80s oddities. 

Egon, created a mixtape based on Madlib’s Rock Konducta, featuring some of the same records and oddities that Madlib came across including a track by a bunch of Dusseldorf 20 somethings, who recorded a Krautrock album in a former Nazi bomb shelter; several bands with pop aspirations, who recorded something heavier and more awesome than they ever expected; and other oddities that are psychedelic and strangely funky.
