Off The Record - Makaya McCraven (Vinyl 2LP)

Internationally acclaimed drummer, producer, and sonic collagist Makaya McCraven returns to announce four distinct
yet interconnected EPs - Techno Logic, The People’s Mixtape, Hidden Out!, and PopUp Shop - to be released on all music
platforms 31st October. The four EPs are also compiled on a 2xLP physical release titled 'Off the Record', available for preorder now and in stores 10th October via XL Recordings.

Together they mark McCraven’s first recorded offerings since 2022’s In These Times (“McCraven’s most ambitious set of
music” - GRAMMY) and a deep return to the signature “organic beat music” approach that Makaya first debuted on his 2015
album In The Moment and further developed across subsequent releases Highly Rare (2017), Where We Come From (2018),
and Universal Beings (2018). Built from live recordings, the music is later reshaped by McCraven via extensive editing,
overdubs, and post-production at his home studio in Chicago.
