Rhythm Roulette: Tom Misch | Mass Appeal

Tom Misch is a devotee of Dilla who’s been putting in work for years as a lo-fi SoundCloud producer. The South London singer and beatmaker self-produced most of his recent debut album ‘Geography,’ which features a rare lyrical cosign from Native Tongue OGs De La Soul. The last time he was in NYC, Misch accepted Mass Appeal’s Rhythm Roulette challenge, pulling up to Norman’s Sound & Vision in Williamsburg, Brooklyn to tie a T-shirt over his eyes and go groping for vinyl. His random selections included ‘El Sabor De Gene’ by Gene Hernandez, as well as albums by the Panamanian vocalist Basilio and Hells Kitchen’s own Lisa Lisa. Wasting no time, Misch pulled the vinyl out, dropping the needle until he struck gold. Before you knew it, he’d isolated and chopped a funky break and started laying down keys and electric guitar over top. Check out the latest episode of Rhythm Roulette right now.

This guy was incredible. One of my favourite rhythm roulettes so far.

[tribecalledgod]

This dude is incredible. Saw him perform a few weeks ago in Philly and it was one of the best shows I have ever seen.

Tom is such a talented producer he can create both a banging hip hop track then make some sweet jazz

[djdrwatson]

He did really well. I like it when we get a beat made from each record.

[WhatWeDigtoday]

Tom Misch is f#*cking genius. I loved geography hoping he breaks through. He's got a soulquarian style, with a crooner voice and produces like a turntablist. He's dope.

[ThinkingOutLoud]

I love that so many folks are finally getting notice of Tom....dude is dope! Need a Jordan Rakei RR next.

[brandonp.]

RAW
His approach and the way he’s mixing software with live instruments is truly unreal. 2nd and 3rd beat had the makings of perfect.
Drums are nice as well!!!!

[ChristianFloresvideo]

I think this is my favorite rhythm roulette so far

[TheKnicks]

Surprised his key board didn’t fall off

Easily one of the best RRs

[TRIV]

Been a fan of Tom's for a while now and knew this would be fire. Especially after watching his "Whats in my bag?" and seeing his digs. Big ups Mass Appeal.

[joshuagonzalez]

7:34 damn bro. This beat got me smiling and inspired to make a beat. Great artist.

[shirkophobe]

Dude is hella dope with his, for real. Made it look easy. Salute!

[conducttracks]

I haven't enjoyed a RR like this in sometime. Tom got serious skills.
All joints were fresh but that third one?
Time to fire up the MK3!
