Pro-Teens x MF Doom

The Pro-Teens put out a very cool instrumental album last year called I Flip My Life Every Time I Fly. Check this new single, a tribute to MF DOOM...

"Melbourne’s enigmatic instrumental soul group The Pro-Teens pay tribute to the late great MF DOOM, reimagining two iconic cuts from the deep catalogue of the infamous Metal Fingered Villain.

Peachfuzz, an early triumph from the days before Daniel Dumile donned the mask and called himself MF DOOM, comes from KMD’s first album Mr Hood. The Pro-Teens take on the uptempo marimba-laced funk of the original beat that DOOM produced under his first moniker MC Zev Love X, paying respect to the early years of DOOM’s career.

One Beer, a standout track from MF DOOM’s MM..FOOD album, finds the Teens diving deep into the tracks sample, French group Cortex’s Huit Octobre 1971. Constructed around the beat’s iconic chorus, voiced by drummer / bandleader Libby Clique-baité, One Beer subversively transforms the original track’s main groove into an eerie landscape of fuzzed out guitar and harsh synthesizer tones.

Within Melbourne's burgeoning cinematic-soul scene mysteriously sit The Pro-Teens. Helmed by prolific drummer Hudson Whitlock (Karate Boogaloo, Surprise Chef), this breakaway studio project involves an interchangeable collective of incognito instrumentalists playing under outlandish pseudonyms such as 'Dead Honest’ Dean Amazing and Libby Clique-Baite.

The forthcoming tribute album 'MF TEEN: Your Concurrence In The Above Is Assumed' is nothing more than an aural open letter posthumously thanking the one and only super villain for guiding The Teens down the only road they know. RIP DOOM, RIP Daniel Dumile. Thank you."
