Los Angeles-based producer Kenny Segal crafts dynamic, genre-defying beats for renowned independent rappers like Open Mike Eagle (“No Selling”), Milo (so the flies don’t come), and Busdriver (“Worlds to Run”). Armed with an SP-404 and an arsenal of vintage gear and quirky instruments, Segal’s toured the world and garnered praise from publications like Bandcamp Daily, which wrote that each of Segal’s suites “expands the musicality of rap production.” In 2018, he’s already released the jazzy Casual Horns, Dog with Mr. Carmack and Mike Parvizi and Kenstrumentals Vol. 3 (Dome of Doom), a beat tape of innovative productions that wed organic instrumentation with deftly chopped samples and knocking, unquantized percussion. Segal’s forthcoming full-length this fall, happy little trees (Ruby Yacht), will continue his boundless sonic explorations.
