solipsistic NATION No. 191: Mad EP, Live

I missed last month’s live set on solipsistic NATION because my life got pretty hectic. But I’m back this month with a live set from Mad EP recorded at the TODAYSART festival in 2008.

TODAYSART believes strongly in fresh and vigorous creativity; and in the new shapes of expression, and the rising talents who boldly explore the possibilities of the new and controversial stages where they can express their talent.

I had Mad EP on the show back in September with O’ Slick to talk about their Brimstone Bangers release and asked Mad EP if he had a recording of a live set he’d like to share on the show. Mad EP said he did and set me a rocking set and I’m psyched to share it with you on today’s show!

Mad EP will also be back on the show later this month or in June with a live set he’s putting together exclusively for solipsistic NATION.

Earlier this year Hecq came on the show with a mix that covered the gamut of Hecq’s musical styles: from ambient to breakbeat. It occurred to me that as much as I dig Mad EP’s live set it’s pretty much all hip hop and doesn’t convey the range of his musical capabilities. Mad EP felt the same way after listening to Hecq’s mix we both agreed that Mad EP should do a mix too.

Unfortunately, Mad EP broke his hand so until he heals that mix will have to wait. Until then, rock out to Mad EP’s TODAYSART 2008 live set!
