ID Labs producer E. Dan, a longtime collaborator Mac Miller, would like to see more the late artist’s music become available to the public.
In an interview with Genius, Dan discussed the possibility future posthumous releases following the Circles album. The veteran beatmaker noted he hasn’t discussed such plans with Miller’s family but is hopeful more material from the vault will eventually drop.
“Honestly I have no beat on it whatsoever,” he said. “His mom isn’t really interested in talking about it, and I’ve never brought it up with her. I don’t know whether they will or not. I hope that they do because there’s a lot great stuff and a lot great stuff that’s already finished. It just needs to be put together and released. And I hope that they do.”
Dan continued, “I’ve gone through a lot motions to get to that point. I hope that eventually they decide they want to go back and sort comb through the archives. I would be really surprised if they didn’t want some this material to see the light day. There’s just so much.”
The ID Labs member’s work can be heard throughout Miller’s discography, ranging from the Pittsburgh-bred rapper’s early mixtape days to Swimming, the final album released before his September 2018 death.
Despite composer Jon Brion’s lead role in the making 2020’s Circles, Dan also contributed to the posthumous LP by co-producing “Woods.”
