Preview: Chairman Maf // 1976

maf761976 is crammed full of samples used in non-tired ways and the productions BANGS. Chairman Maf’s out of Cambridge but currently resides in Sheffield – consequently Pablo Thirsty Ear (keep an eye on their events here ) has sent this link my way.

There’s a very limited CD version available here with art by Telemachus aka Chemo. Listen to the album below (or here if your reader isn’t showing the embed) and check more info about Maf after that.
