Beats, Machines & Revolutions — An Afternoon with Real Muzul

From Bordeaux to Paris, journalist and DJ Real Muzul stops by Le Grand Jeu for a special book signing and talk around Here Come the Drums — a deep dive into the machines that reshaped hip-hop.

TR-808, LinnDrum, SP-1200… In this new publication co-written with Da Cockroach, Real Muzul retraces how samplers and drum machines became the pulse of an entire culture — from the Bronx to the French underground.

Through more than seventy interviews across the U.S. and France, Here Come the Drums tells the story of those who bent technology to their will, inventing a revolutionary sound that still reverberates today. A passionate tribute to the art of beat-making, its pioneers, and the creative rebellion that turned rhythm into identity.
