max I million: we own the night
Francisco Espregueira
Well know in the underground world of instrumental hip hop, the Stockholm-based producer and beatmaker Max I Million steps up to release his solo debut album, We Own The Night, via NINETOFIVE. Crossing through 12 tracks, we vibe to his own funky cross-breedings of classical boom bap and futuristic sounds - filled with groovy bass lines, grooves and stunning sample chops.
Adding up to Max’s wonderful instrumentals, We Own The Night contains high-class guests: Blu, Planet Asia, TriState and Twizzmatic appear on the scene to provide their lyrical skills. Starting off with a heavy hitting funk track, featuring Max's side project and production duo Iceberg Sound System, the album then shifts towards a more classic hip hop vibe, finishing off with experimental soulful instrumentals that fulfill the concept - We Own The Night is available on all digital platforms.
“The title refers to the night time theme of the project. I started working on this album during a period where I would stay up all night making beats, simply because that was when inspiration struck and I felt free from the chains of day to day life. There was something special about making beats while looking out the window, watching the cloudy skies illuminated by the city lights and snow covered rooftops.”
