Pradoxlan



Sometime in the summer of 2003, I decided to produce an instrumental hip hop album with my buddy Robert. He had recently gotten access to an MPC, bought some jazz records, and had an inexpensive keyboard; so he started making beats. I had been producing mostly sample-based stuff on the Korg Triton for several months, and had gotten pretty tight with the machine. Naturally, we decided to record our stuff. This was at the height of the Jaylib buzz, so we were going to call the project Pradox. He was Prafit, and I was Moondox. Pradox.

I think Robert was living in Temecula, so we went up with my Triton to record beats in his garage. Our other friend Brandon drove, who also had just started making beats, so we added him to the lineup. He went by Azlan, so we became Pradoxlan. We thought it was a good name I guess.

We all recorded our beats onto Robert's 8 track, and made a CD. Robert scrawled Pradoxlan on it. I made four contributions, one of which is the "Up on Upper" track. The other three are some of the last recordings from the Triton, which was lost in a fire in October of 2003.
