Whether we are aware of it or not, the sound of drum machines has been woven into the fabric of popular music since the 1970s. Sly & The Family Stone, Blondie and Kraftwerk all benefitted from "Beat Boxes" on well-known hits, as did pop artists in the 1980s ranging from Madonna, Depeche Mode and Queen to Prince, Michael Jackson and Phil Collins. The relationship that these oft-misunderstood mystery machines have with hip-hop and electronic music runs even deeper, from Grandmaster Flash, Afrika Bambaataa, Run-DMC and the Beastie Boys to New Order, Masters at Work, Moby and Kanye West.
In Beat Box: A Drum Machine Obsession, Mansfield shares his deep love and respect for them on every page. This unique, one-of-a-kind book features gorgeous photos by Gary Land; captivating background and facts about each machine; archival advertisements; and interviews with master drum machine programmers and innovators including Davy DMX, Schoolly-D, Marshall Jefferson and Roger Linn. The range of drum machines covered spans three decades, from the late 1950s to the late 1980s.
