El Michels Affair - 24hr Sports (LP)

Leon Michels has quietly become one of the most sought-after producers on the music scene. His distinctive sound has attracted mainstream attention while continuing to inspire the underground scene. His new album, “24 Hr Sports,” marks his long-awaited return under his own band name: El Michels Affair. “24 Hr Sports” was inspired by the fashion and graphic design of Sports Illustrated magazines from the 80s and 90s, MF DOOM's Special Herbs albums, the sample sources used in them, and gospel music à la Pastor T.L. Barrett. The sum of these influences, coupled with Michels' infallible creative instinct, results in a recipe for an instant classic—a work that will undoubtedly be among the most celebrated releases of 2025.
