Ant here peeps returning to the office after a few days off with a nasty tummy bug. I've now recovered from the old Kevin Martin and am back on the case listening to the Beastie Boys new instrumental album 'The mix up' This has that free-wheeling jam vibe with 70's sounds and plenty of Rhodes. I like this stuff but I'll always prefer the raw drum sounds of the Def Jam years. I'm glad I'm feeling better, I had a licence to ill.

BEASTIE BOYS GO INSTRUMENTAL, AGAIN

THE MIX-UP - BRAND NEW ALL-INSTRUMENTAL ALBUM - OUT JUNE 25

Mike "Mike D" Diamond, Adam "MCA" Yauch and Adam "Adrock" Horovitz have confirmed their seventh studio album, The Mix-Up.

Beastie Boys' first-ever full album of all-new instrumental material. The follow-up to 2004's To The 5 Boroughs, The Mix-Up features Diamond, Horovitz and Yauch back on drums, guitar and bass, with able assistance from Keyboard Money Mark and percussionist Alfredo Ortiz, on 12 brand new wordless, sample-less, scratchless originals.

Sure to please fans of the instrumental cuts from Check Your Head and Ill Communication and the cult hit compilation album made up largely of those tracks, The In Sound From Way Out!, The Mix-Up finds NYC's favorite sons drawing on one of their arsenal's primary strengths and pushing it into bold new directions.
