Probably your favourite rapper’s favourite rapper, Daniel Dumile has had many aliases and alter egos in his career as an MC and producer. Zev Love X (with KMD), MF DOOM, Metal Face, Metal Fingers, Viktor Vaughn, King Geedorah or just DOOM. Hip-hop has never known anyone like him.An enigmatic figure with a mindblowing and often comedic command of language, DOOM was the monotone master of multisyllabic, internal rhymes and … how many entendres? To get on his overflowing stream of consciousness, a relentless train of thought, is to have a wildly unpredictable and edifying time whenever you press play.A hive mind of books, comics, cartoons and so much more, he was the kind of writer who would reference anything from Benny Hill and Slobodan Milosevic to Eyjafjallajökull and 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine. And you wouldn’t put it past him to do it in the same track. A craftsman who had “more lyrics than the church got ‘Ooh Lords’”, he wanted to write verses so good you’d pass them on like a good book.The way DOOM conjured theatricality and heightened the drama like a screenwriter/director, both on record and in person, was unprecedented. Turning a Gladiator-inspired mask into an emblem of realness and anti-heroism. A rebirth as the Supervillain, returning to exact revenge on a fickle industry full of shysters and posers.He created a cast of characters to breathe life into and build a mythology around. Plucking samples anywhere from mushy 80’s RnB to Scooby-Doo and old kaiju films. “Plotting shows like robberies”, keeping fans guessing as to whether he would or would not turn up. Many of them gladly in on the caper, even if it was clear that his DOOM bot lacked a signature potbelly cultivated through many brews and other vices.He was so elusive I had convinced myself I did NOT see him at this 2012 performance with The Robert Glasper Experiment at London’s Roundhouse. They played a beautiful version of my favourite track ‘Rhinestone Cowboy’, which dials up the melancholia and shows DOOM could ride anything. As he later proved with this mellow take on ‘Winter Blues’ accompanied by cello, musical saw and piano.DOOM’s legend quickly spread beyond underground hip-hop circles thanks to an all-time classic collaboration with Madlib, appearances on Cartoon Networks’ Adult Swim, guest spots on records by the likes of Gorillaz and gushing praise from luminaries such as Thom Yorke, Yasiin Bey (fka Mos Def) and Portishead’s Geoff Barrow.But somehow, even in the age of broadband internet, DOOM managed to preserve his mystique. So much so that it took most of us two months to realise the British-born musician of Trinidadian and Zimbabwean heritage had passed away in a Leeds hospital at just 49.December 2020 was a grim enough time already in lockdown. Then word quickly spread on New Year’s Eve that rap’s Metalfaced renegade had gone – on Halloween, would you believe it? Among those stunned and eager to know more was SH Fernando Jr (aka SKIZ), a long-time contributor to The Source, Wordsound founder and author of From The Streets of Shaolin: The Wu-Tang Saga.Amazed that no one had attempted to document Dumile the artist’s life through his discography, particularly the origins and interconnectedness of his personae, SKIZ sprang into action. He spent three years developing The Chronicles of DOOM, conducting more than 50 interviews to examine his origin story and transformations.The result is a carefully researched, respectful piece of journalism and an essential handbook for any fan. It’s impossible to fully unravel the mystery of “rap’s masked iconoclast”. That’s how the mischievous Supervillain moved, covert and in the shadows. But the author offers enough commentary and clues to raise our appreciation while thickening the plot.SKIZ joins me from Baltimore for a Moonbeam Levels special. We spoke about what it takes to publish a project like this and how to tread carefully. DOOM’s widescreen imagination and how he laid breadcrumbs of esoterica in the lyrics. The complex morality of a Supervillain and the darkness that underpins his best work. Those underrated production skills and why he stands alone in hip-hop. A cult status that transcends genres and generations.“I’m not here to tell you I’m the expert on Doom and that I know everything. I just wanted to put together his life in one place so you see what an interesting character he is and the trials and tribulations he had to go through. Maybe you can use DOOM as an example in your own life.”If you’re on Facebook you can get book-related updates here.VIKTOR VAUGHN – Change The Beat (live in NYC, 2004) KMD – Hard Wit No Hoe [Elektra]KMD and the origin of DOOMKMD – What A N*gga Know (remix featuring MF Grimm) [Fondle Em]KING GEEDORAH – Fazers [Big Dada]VIKTOR VAUGHN – Pop Snot [Get On Down]MF DOOM – Go With The Flow/Gas Drawls (live at Scribble Jam 2003)JJ DOOM – Winter Blues [Lex]DABRYE – Air (featuring DOOM) [Ghostly International]CZARFACE & MF DOOM – MF Czar [Silver Face]MF DOOM – Who You Think I Am?

Eh up, people!An expanded edition from London Town on a style and period of music that’s very close to my body and soul.When most people think of 80’s music with synths and drum machines, the usual electro-pop suspects come to mind: Kraftwerk, Moroder, Depeche Mode, Human League, Gary Numan, maybe Patrick Cowley.What we should be talking about is how black musicians quietly – ok, maybe not so quietly – revolutionised popular culture through their adventures in R&B from the 70s into the 80s. They could be smooth and sophisticated, but the tracks made you move.Glasgow-based journalist Steven Vass has achieved something significant with his book Let The Music Play, plotting a course through those decades and tracing the evolution of these sounds through the constellation of artists who invented them.The level of research is encyclopaedic yet he’s managed to keep it breezy, capturing the thrill of hearing these records for the first time – minds being blown, often on a weekly basis – as underground club culture broke into the mainstream.I caught up with Steve a couple of months after this launch in Brixton to talk about: how he got into writing; reasons and reservations in doing the book; being inspired by Coming To America; giving flowers to Kashif and Paul Lawrence, Patrice Rushen, Cameo, Kleeer, Gwen Guthrie, Jam & Lewis and many more.He also offers theories on what drew listeners and dancers to these synthesised sounds, why black artists weren’t given more credit as pioneers and the differences between the UK and US markets.Expect a Questlove Supreme level of discourse, along with a big bag of that boogie-street-soul type of thing. A bit of house too, of course. You’ll feel it all.Questions, comments or abuse to @amarofpatel * HERBIE HANCOCK – Quasar (featuring Patrick Gleeson) [Warner]* STEVIE WONDER – Superwoman (Where Were You When I Needed You) [Tamla Motown]* THE SPECIALS – Ghost Town (Extended Version) [Two-Tone]* TOMORROW’S WORLD THEME TUNE (1982)* DESMOND DEKKER – Reggae Recipe [Music For Pleasure]* IMAGINATION – Just An Illusion (original 12” mix) [Unidisc]* PRINCE – Raspberry Beret (New Mix) [NPG]* GWEN GUTHRIE – Ain’t Nothin’ Goin’ On But The Rent (Larry Levan 12” Club Mix) [Polydor]* JOYCE SIMS – Come Into My Life (Extended Version) [London]* FATBACK BAND – Is This The Future?
