The Beat Konducta series is an approximation of these rare documents, mixed together, smartly packaged and sold to you, the discerning record buyer. The story goes that, in the early days, 'Beat Konducta' was what Madlib wrote on his coveted tapes full of nascent backing tracks that he passed out to friends. Pharrell (and the other one) would probably offer up a selection of yet-unclaimed drum fills, synth lines and falsetto vocal riffs ready to be chopped up, pitch shifted and crafted into a bespoke beat to make any emcee sound good - so long as Pharrell got to sing the chorus. This is probably exactly the sort of thing you'd hear if you showed up at the Neptunes' studio back in the day with a suitcase full of money looking for a guaranteed chart topper. It's essentially a beat tape - a collection of raw material for beats which producers hand out to their peers and collaborators. These quick sketches of beats barely have time to get going before they are cross-faded into the next or abruptly interrupted with a vocal sample. 6: Dil Withers Suite (available together on CD or as separate LPs) once again compile a crazy amount of tantalisingly short instrumentals: only a handful break the three minute barrier. The fifth and sixth instalments of the Stones Throw series, Vol. It's quite a frustrating experience but not an entirely unpleasant one.

Listening to Madlib's Beat Konducta series is a bit like going to a soul-music fetishist's peep-show and having the shutter slam down unceremoniously on your cock every couple of minutes.
