Magro II

Digital · XJM22007

With „II“ (pronounced: two), Berlin drummer and producer Magro blends spacey jazz worlds with pumping hip-hop beats. After winning the German Jazz Prize for his debut, this follow-up mixes live recordings with abstract, synthetic productions. Its ten tracks move between weightless textures and driving grooves, drawing an international cast of guests into the studio: vocalist Leona Berlin, New York keyboardist BIGYUKI, rapper TwizzMatic, as well as Kenny Wesley and Rapturous shape the features. Magro himself sits at the drums and handles the production — his playing is both foundation and driving force, while the electronic layers give the album its futuristic texture. „Magro II“ was released on 25 August 2022 on XJAZZ! Music and carries forward the sound of his award-winning debut: a record at the intersection of jazz, hip-hop and electronic music.

Magro

A German Jazz Prize-winning Berlin drummer and producer whose album II fuses spacey jazz, hip-hop beats and synthetic productions with an array of vocal and instrumental guests.

Magro is a Berlin drummer and producer whose debut album "Trippin'" (2021) won the German Jazz Prize for Debut Album of the Year. As a drummer and producer he has worked with numerous artists across styles - including Stimulus, Yvonne Mwale, J Lamotta, Tóke, Jakob Manz and Telemakus - and toured the world with appearances at festivals such as Tremplin Jazz Avignon, Jazz Al Popolo Rome, the Women in Music Festival in Zambia and the Havana World Music Festival, before launching his solo project in 2020 to realise his own musical vision. On his follow-up album "II" (pronounced "two"), spacey jazz worlds meet pumping hip-hop beats, and live recordings mingle with abstract synthetic productions in what Magro describes as an emotional expression of how music with a jazz attitude sounds to him now. Most of the record was made with his band improvising in the studio, joined by guests including singers Leona Berlin and Kenny Wesley, rappers MC Rapturous and TwizzMatic, and New York piano virtuoso BIGYUKI; atmospheric samples gathered on a trip to Mexico and Los Angeles lend the album a unique tonal diversity.
