When Electronics And Hip Hop Shift



TEKTONICS teams up electonic artists with turntablist DJs.
Performers include: Howie B., Propellerheads, Freestylers, Tim Love Lee,
Cold Fusion, Meat Beat Manifesto, Mocean Worker, Apollo, DJ Craze,
Z-Trip, Disk, Vin Roc, Herbaliser, Eddie Def.

Om Records has released a refreshing piece of work,
stating that "Tektonics is the symbol adopted to represent the inevitable shifting of...
hip-hop and electronic music..."
The concept, ambitious in its approach, may seem like an obvious step,
but has not been visualized before now.

Everyone from Photek to Meat Beat Manifesto,
The Propellerheads, and The Freestylers
are paired with the likes of DJ Rob Swift, Herbalizer, The Scratch Perverts, and DJ Craze.

Taking classic tracks by these electronica artists,
the hip-hop turntablists scratch, remix, and throw beats around,
almost making them their own.

In their attempt to liberate these preconceived notions of what music is about,
they bring together two genres that fit seamlessly together and flow so well that,
whether bumping in your jeep, reclining in your living room,
or lounging in a smoky bar,
this will surely have your head bobbing and your feet moving.
