Emancipator with steez 9:30pm
Emancipator’s intricate, artful beats have earned him the kind of organic success 99% of artists only dream about. His debut album “Soon It Will Be Cold Enough,” was released only in Japan, but it filtered out into the rest of the world thanks to determined fans who got the music before the label did, ordered the expensive import or donated money in exchange for mp3s. Last month, the album was released in the U.S. on STS9’s own 1320 Records. The re-release is timed with Emancipator’s first North American tour, 10 performances across the country including three stops with Pretty Lights in the southeastern U.S and appearances at Trinumeral Festival in Asheville and Symbiosis Gathering in Yosemite.
"'Soon It Will Be Cold Enough' beautifully mixes hip-hop beats with guitar feedback and a delicate piano melody," says Rolling Stone. "You can feel his energy when he performs." Emancipator continues to reap accolades from digital music tastemakers. "Shook," a mashup that perfectly mixes Mobb Deep's mighty raps with a haunting track from the Icelandic band Sigur Ros, was the highest-rated song on Hype Machine's "Best 50 Songs of 2007," and reappeared on Hype Machine as the #2 most popular song in April 2009.
emancipator will be joined by madison's own creepfunk outfit, steez, for this show. you can be assured it will be chock full of funky trip-hoppity goodness. show starts at 9pm
