These midi maestros are at the forefront of this beat revolution bringing the old into the new and making new out of the technologically modern. There ain’t much need to say too much about the repertoire within each of these prolific artists profiles because we’re too busy listening and nodding our heads that the music speaks for itself. Sampling, producing and remixing 8bit sounds, soul classics, spoken word, old school beats and everything in between and unheard this is our list of 20 headnodic beat makers we’re listening to right now.
