Madlib’s Beat Konducta-Record Release Party ~ 8-24-07

1:57 PM PDT on August 28, 2007

Wow! Madlib's "Beat Konducta" record release party 8-24-07 was chock full of heads from all parts of L.A.

Everyone was served free Indian food and 3 types of 20oz Indian beer!

Gaslamp Killer was on the mix doing his thing and passing out Nag Champa to everyone!

I had my mind set of thinking this was going to be a little off the wall, because of the Indian themed record event, but I was feeling a good vibe at this party and was impressed with the great food and mellow beats. Heads like, ABSENT, ZUELA, Baby Ghost and various members of the H+R crew were there to all show their support.

This album is going to change how you feel about Indian/hip-hop music, if you had an opinion before this. Madlib keeps this album fresh and steady with beats that flow like the Sunset in India.

Thanks again to everyone that made LATACO welcome! We look forward to your next record release party! Oh yeah, the food was the BOMB!!! peace & love.... 455ERccc
