Mike Boo
Originally released in 2005 on Los Angeles’ influential Alpha Pup Records, Dunhill Drone Committee is the debut solo album from Bay Area turntablist Mike Boo. Originally mixed and mastered by Daddy Kev (Alpha Pup co-founder and architect of Low End Theory), the album marked a radical reimagining of what a turntablist record could be. Crafted entirely on vinyl and turntables—with minimal DAW involvement—every drum hit, melody, texture, and atmosphere was hand-sculpted and scratched from records. Expanding turntablism beyond the battle stage, Mike ventured into moody, introspective terrain, blending minimalism, ambient dissonance, and meditative repetition. Arriving at the twilight of the late-’90s/early-2000s turntablist wave, the album quietly earned a cult reputation in scratch and experimental circles. Nearly two decades later, it stands as a hidden landmark in all-scratch composition. Now, in celebration of its 20th anniversary, Dunhill Drone Committee receives its first-ever vinyl release on Boo’s own imprint MNML/LMNL—introducing this formative work to new ears while reconnecting with old ones.
