In his 2002 Red Bull Music Academy lecture, Madlib revealed the secrets of his favourite studio equipment, the story behind his Quasimoto alias, his work as Yesterday’s New Quintet, and more.

Since the early ’90s, the reclusive Madlib has been producing music at a relentless pace. Whether he’s working with artists like Freddie Gibbs, MF Doom or Erykah Badu, collaborating with the late J Dilla, or working under one of his own aliases, like the drugged-out party creature Quasimoto, Madlib has carved out his own idiosyncratic corner in the massive hip-hop universe.
