Manslaughter 777 - God's World *Pre-Order

Release Date Friday 25th July 2025
All pre-orders will be dispatched/made ready for collection on that day.

Manslaughter 777 are powerhouses of forward-thinking rhythmic music and production. The duo, composed of drummers/programmers Lee Buford (The Body, Sightless Pit, Dead Times, Everyone Asked About You) and Zac Jones (MSC, Nothing, Braveyoung), combine their prowess as percussionists and producers into beat-centric music that delights in turning unexpected sounds into razor sharp rhythms. Buford and Jones, along with engineer/producer Seth Manchester of Machines with Magnets (The Body, Model Actriz, Liturgy), have collaborated for nearly two decades, consistently shattering genre boundaries and redefining the role of the studio in the process. God’s World uses innovative sound sampling to create expansive sonics driven by complex rhythms. The resulting album’s infectious grooves are both celebratory and irreverent. The duo deftly interweave their own playing into field recordings and synthesized drums. The taut pieces blur the boundaries between acoustic and electronic instruments, samples and performances. “It’s kind of strange to be making music like this using acoustic sounds,” Jones continues, “but I think that adds a special element to it, sampling our own playing and being very meticulous about the sounds we get out of those.” “Power in the Blood” turns a ping-ponging hip hop beat into a throbbing House thump. “Silk Barricade”s dub-gone-jungle drop is met with an industrial breakdown where “Pulling A Truck Up A Hill”’s afro-latin groove leaves more room to breathe. Overblown 808s and steady tambourine speckle the slow-mo “Child Of (featuring MSC)” and a sine-wave bass lilts across the live kit on “Luv.” On God’s World, kaleidoscopic revelations reveal a rhythmic approach unbound by expectations. Buford and Jones are willing to completely shift gears within one short piece or to allow individual percussive elements to subtly transform the landscape of the beat.
