Adrian Younge documentary
As egotistic and pretentious as he may come across at times, its hard to deny that Adrian Younge is something of a musical genius. This new short film breaks down his process, with DJ Premier, RZA and more sharing their experiences of working with the man himself, and how they dig his strictly analogue approach to making music. Definitely worth a watch.
