New Album The Build
The Build – Ropeadope 2020
The Build is a seriously cool record. It’s well produced, the right level of complex, engaging, and most of all, funky as hell. Its charms are destined to make an impact on nearly all who sample it, and it’s a damn fine uplift for these times of uncertainty.

Thor Madsen / Abdullah S – Ropeadope 2019
What I love about Thor de Force […] is how he mixes hip-hop roots with jazz through the lens of a masterful studio producer, in a completely unique way.
