Acclaimed drummer, producer, and sonic collagist Makaya McCraven releases four new singles today, one from each of his four upcoming EPs –– Techno Logic, The People’s Mixtape, Hidden Out!, and PopUp Shop –– that will be released on all music platforms October 31st. The new singles –– “Boom Bapped,” “The Beat Up,” “Dark Parks,” and “Los Gatos” –– and subsequent EPs are all compiled on a 2xLP and 2xCD physical release titled Off the Record, which is available for preorder now and in stores October 10th via International Anthem / Nonesuch / XL Recordings. Together they mark McCraven’s first recorded offerings since 2022’s In These Times (“McCraven’s most ambitious set of music” -GRAMMY.com) and a return to the signature “organic beat music” approach that Makaya first debuted on his 2015 album In The Moment and further developed Highly Rare (2017), Where We Come From (2018), and Universal Beings (2018). Built from live recordings, McCraven reshapes the music via extensive editing, overdubs, and post-production at his home studio in Chicago.

Listen to the singles from each of the four EPs, and preorder Off the Record on 2LP/2CD here.
