The duo of Georgia Anne Muldrow and Dudley Perkins emerged from the effervescent Los Angeles underground of the 2000s, kindred spirits to the sampledelia of Madlib and spirituality of Carlos Niño. Cutting their teeth with the various labels and at the small happenings around LA, the pair developed their own mystic hip-hop brew informed by America’s rich black traditions – Muldrow’s parents recorded as Chemise – and welded together with samplers, keys and microphones. In this lecture at the 2007 Red Bull Music Academy, Muldrow and Perkins sat down for a rare discussion about collaboration, sampling and spirituality.
