In February, for the first time ever, the entirety of Quasimoto’s 2005 sophomore album The Further Adventures of Lord Quas will be available on vinyl. It comes on an exclusive 2-LP Day Breaking / Night Falling vinyl, complete with exclusive alternate art and a gatefold jacket. Further Adventures arrived five years after the first installment, further expanding the Quasimoto world as a whirlwind of good highs, weird thrills, and an unpredictable collage of loops and samples. This album’s persevered as a cult favorite, showcasing Madlib’s deep penchant for impulsive ingenuity. When Otis’ crates match his mind, anything can happen and it’ll never be what you expected.

“We’ve partnered with Madlib a lot over the years, and he’s one of our favorites to work with,” says Winistorfer. “He’s an artist who reveres diving deep into the annals of music history as much as we do, who values the form of vinyl records as much as we do. We did an exclusive of Quasimoto’s first album as one of our first ever store-exclusive pressings, so it felt appropriate to run it back for the second Quasimoto album, a knotty, difficult, sprawling, fun thrill ride through Madlib’s mind.”

For Penn, it’s a familiar-yet-odd prospect, given the vantage point. “I don’t even smoke, so I’m not finna act like it clicked for me off top, ” says Penn. “But that’s definitely part of the Madlib allure, and that’s what drew me to shit like Madvillainy back when I was a teenager. So Lord Quas is like observing another take at Madlib trying to organize his brain, and I’m in danger of snapping my vertebrae every time he finds something incredible. Even when he finds something weird, I’m intrigued; he’s like a good director that I trust to transport me somewhere, and take me through a fucked up experience without holding my hand. But I trust him, and we might see some beautiful shit somewhere in the madness.”
