Madlib Invazion

Madlib Invazion is an American independent hip-hop label launched in 2010 by Los Angeles-based producer and DJ Madlib. The label opened with the Madlib Medicine Show series of albums, which was completed in 2012 with a total of 13 CDs, six LPs, and six limited edition LPs released. Another ongoing album series on the label is called Rock Konducta, featuring hip-hop instrumentals produced by Madlib using samples from various rock genres. The imprint has also published records for the duo MadGibbs, including their critically acclaimed album Piñata in 2014.

Quatermass Seven, the meeting of minds between guitarist Barrie Cadogan, bassist Lewis Wharton and drummer Malcolm Catto represents a re-birth of sorts for Little Barrie, with these their first recordings since 2017’s Death Express and the untimely passing of their gifted drummer and friend Virgil Howe.

With most tracks recorded live with minimal overdubs, and produced by Malcolm at his Quatermass studios, The Heliocentrics’ main man brings new flavour to the band’s rhythm section by blending his power behind the drum kit and his expansive skills behind the mixing desk to take Little Barrie’s music forward into new territories. Recorded on Catto’s treasure trove of analogue gear, and mastered onto 1⁄4” tape, the overall effect is guitar, bass and drums finding a sweet spot where genres collide, delivering a record that takes the influences of the past and pushes them towards somewhere more contemporary. 

Quatermass Seven delivers a dark, deep and expansive set of grooves, layered with frazzled and flawless guitar and flowing melodies, as well as pointing toward a future of exciting new musical opportunities. “Still here, so fine, just a little darker state of mind” sings Cadogan on Steel Drum, words which sum up hope in times of uncertainty, whilst unintentionally offering a perfect description of Quartermass Seven.
