Nostalgia 77 and the Monster

Semi-schizoid producer Benedic Lamdin, who trades under the name Nostalgia 77, has worked in a variety of styles. Starting out in hip hop and heavy funk, he drifted into jazz orchestration, which led to the release of the acclaimed Everything Under the Sun in 2007. Subsequent collaborations with British soul singer Alice Russell, down-tempo remixer Bonobo, experimental jazz duo Keith and Julie Tippett, and nu-folk troubadour Jeb Loy Nichols have helped spread awareness of his talents.
