As producer of Crown City Rockers, The Mighty Underdogs and various side projects, Headnodic remains in the studio creating music that spans a variety of genres and styles yet stays rooted in the undeniable, classic era of hip hop. With that much creative output, sometimes beats can simply slip through the cracks, half finished and forgotten, locked away in a junk drawer never to see the light of day. And while Headnodic may have easily forgotten about these, the 26 intertwined beats of Junk Drawer Vol.1 meld into a masterpiece more than worthy of release – it is downright dope. Occupying a space somewhere between Dilla’s seminal Donuts and Day’s Land Of 1000 Chances, JD vol. 1 has the finesse of a fully produced outing yet the frenetic energy of an off the cuff composition; it seamlessly blends familiar loops and breaks only to eschew those golden era comforts, turn on a dime and head into unexplored territory. Live drums and bass give way to sampled chops, Headnodic scratches records, plays bass, makes beats and conducts the whole outing with the nonchalant confidence of a true master.

To that end, it may be that Headnodic is one of the most underrated, slept on producers in Hip Hop. Then again, with heat like this in his Junk Drawer, one can only wonder what he has in store for us next. We at PL70 are very proud to present Junk Drawer in a recycled chipboard sleeve with custom artwork by Boston native Moe Pope and manufactured in Burbank, Ca. The Vinyl is hand drawn in El Segundo, Ca with am Opaque Purple swirl color combination formulated by Thes One. The pressing is limited to 250 units and will not be re-issued.
