Makaya McCraven is set to release four interconnected EPs: Techno Logic, The People's Mixtape, Hidden Out!, and PopUp Shop on October 31, with a physical compilation Off the Record available on October 10. Each EP features improvisations shaped by live performances and audience interactions. Techno Logic showcases collaborations with Ben LaMar Gay and Theon Cross. The People's Mixtape marks the 10-year anniversary of In The Moment, featuring several key musicians. Hidden Out! utilizes recordings from a Chicago residency involving multiple collaborators.
Techno Logic features Ben LaMar Gay and Theon Cross, and draws from performances in London (2017), Berlin (2024), and New York (2025), showcasing nearly eight years of developing rapport between the three musicians.
The People's Mixtape has its foundation in a live recording from Brooklyn's Public Records in January of 2025, where McCraven celebrated the 10 year anniversary of In The Moment.
Hidden Out! is built off recordings from McCraven's June 2017 residency at The Hideout in Chicago, where he improvised weekly with a revolving cast including bassist Junius Paul.
