Inside Mad World, the U.K. Record Label Championing Club Culture
In late 2019, London-based duo God Colony began thinking about establishing a record label, formalizing the ideas and projects they had been working on. Over the next few months, founders Thomas Gorton and James Rand were joined by producer Raf Rundell and art director Jacob Chabeaux, and Mad World was born. Almost immediately, though, lockdown measures were announced globally and nightclubs everywhere were forced to close. The culture that had inspired Mad World suddenly faced a more uncertain future than ever before. “I think it made us more compelled to make it really happen,” Gorton tells HYPEBEAST. “Two years on Zoom and having your temperature checked at the pub drives a man mad – you end up doing totally unnecessary things like starting a record label. It was strange to start and th...

Pusha T Explains What Happened To His Madlib-Produced Album
Pusha T gave fans a clear explanation of what happened to his supposed Madlib-produced album during the premiere of his It’s Almost Dry Radio show on Amp.

Push said he got sent a folder of dope loops from Madlib, kinda like, ‘do your thing!’ But he felt like the only way to top Daytona was to allow himself to really be produced in a more hands on way, so he decided to go in a different direction (sitting with Ye and P) for this 1,” Callahan-Bever tweeted. Elsewhere in the episode, Push also revealed the origins of It’s Almost Dry, “The project got started from me playing “Hear Me Clearly” for Pharrell…And he told me th...
