Mccraven, Makaya
Off The Record
On October 10, Makaya McCraven will release Off The Record , a 2LP or 2 CD set. It compiles four new EPs titled Techno
Logic, PopUp Shop, Hidden Out!, and The People's Mixtape. All four EPs were produced in the signature 'organic beat
music' style that Makaya first debuted on his 2015 album In The Moment, and further developed across subsequent releases
Highly Rare, Where We Come From, and Universal Beings, where he exercises heavy post-production on live recordings of
improvisations he leads from the drumkit. Techno Logic was produced from three different live recordings (from London
2017, Berlin 2024, and New York 2025) by Makaya with cornetist/vocalist/synthesist Ben LaMar Gay and tubaist Theon
Cross. The People's Mixtape was recorded in January of 2025 at Public Records in Brooklyn, where Makaya improvised with
bassist Junius Paul, trumpeter Marquis Hill, vibraphonist Joel Ross, and modular synthesist Jeremiah Chiu.
