Madlib Drops Collaboration With Four Tet, “Road Of The Lonely Ones”

Madlib is getting the new year started with yet another collaborative album.

The producer has just released a new song called “Road of the Lonely Ones.” The song is a collaboration with producer Four Tet and was premiered on Mary Anne Hobbs’ BBC Radio 6 show before being delivered to DSPs right after. The song will be on a collaborative album between the two called Sound Ancestors that is dropping in January.

Announced yesterday on Instagram by the Madlib’s manager and Now-Again Records chief, Eothan “Egon” Alapatt, Sound Ancestors is a collection of Madlib’s beats arranged, mixed, and edited by Four Tet. A precise release date has yet to be revealed.

Sound Ancestors follows a streak of critically-acclaimed collaborative work from Madlib, linking with his brother, Oh No, on a self-titled debut as The Professionals, as well as Karriem Riggins on Pardon My French, a spiritual-jazz-infused joint album as Jahari Massamba Unit. And Four Tet is no stranger to the Bandana producer’s work. The electronic experimentalist previously remixed Madlib’s beats for Madvillainy, releasing a batch as the Four Tet Remixes, featuring five reworks, four instrumentals, and MF DOOM’s remix of “Rhinestone Cowboy,” which uses a snippet of Four Tet’s edit as its source.
