Artist Interview: Adam "Adrock" Horovitz (Beastie Boys)

It's hard to fully comprehend the impact the Beastie Boys have had on popular
music. In collaborations with Rick Rubin and The Dust Brothers, the Beastie
Boys have birthed some of the most infectious and fun beats of the last 25
years. From the early 2000s, on a recommendation from band-mate Mike D,
Adam Horovitz (Adrock) started making beats in Reason and instantly ditched
his venerable SP1200. Reason has been at the heart of their beat laboratory
ever since.
