About devil mcdoom

21 year-old producer Devil McDoom from Karlskoga, Sweden is the latest signing to MPM International. Like ever so often I first spotted his talent on Soulstrut.com (thanks again, Raj!). This is his first record. File it under cinematic psych funk with heavy breaks but don't mistake it for another instrumental hip-hop record. Doom is a hip-hop producer by heart - wait until you hear the stuff he is working on with Tone from ATL's Mass Influence - and he is serious about his beats. "I'm kinda obsessed with drums", he says "I probably spend an unhealthy amout of time on them.. I enjoy studying funk drummers a lot, mapping grooves and such." McDoom cites Iron Butterfly, George Duke, Lalo Schifrin and The Meters amongst his biggest influences and you can hear this when you listen to this 12". "I'm kinda obsessed with drums" says Devil McDoom about his special relationship with beats and breaks. ""I probably spend an unhealthy amout of time on them. I enjoy studying funk drummers a lot, mapping grooves and such." The young producer from Karlskoga, Sweden also cites cites Iron Butterfly, George Duke, Lalo Schifrin and The Meters as major influences for his music. McDoom is a hip-hop producer by heart (watch out for his project with ATL's Mass Influence) but the cinematic psych funk he is known for goes way further. DJ Food (Ninja Tune) has called Doom's beats "hard in a Marley Marl meets P Brothers way but humorous with a nod to the greats of UK comedy and horror films."
