Mr. G, aka Colin McBean, is one of the UK’s most impressive and consistent producers, with a discography that winds from early blasts of hard-hitting, futurist techno to saucy, funked up dancefloor bombs to mercurial, hypnotic groove studies. His career has spanned decades, with some of his first releases dating back to the mid ‘90s; prior to that, he was DJing London’s legendary Confusion parties as a member of the KCC DJ trio. What sets him apart is his immaculate touch. His productions, often made on a single MPC sampler, sound as rich as anyone’s, with an effortless funk and surprise twists for days. His vast catalog is one you can get quickly lost in, each EP offering a fresh burst of color. His live performance at Knockdown Center in the early months of 2022 was one of the year’s best.
