DUBDAFUNKTAudio enlightenment for urban souls. Thursday, September 9th @ The Knitting Factory Live performances by: Socks and Sandals (Love & Cush Records, Williamsburg / Fort Greene) Deep dubby landscapes and basslines injected with syncopated poly-rhythms and melancholy melodies. Improvised vocals may be in German, instructing you to "stick your fingers in your ears" or in French, about "Papa Sartre is a window to the head of cheese." Socks and Sandals name really says it all: sense of humor, laid back, easy-going, down-to-earthy, organic, and care-free comfort. Although they keep threatening to join the laptop masses, at this point they continue to play live and laptopless, combining digital sampling and effects, analog synthesis, and organic ambient sounds. Sources include FM radios, live, global street sounds from, sampled and live African instruments and toys, as well as drum machines and synthesizers. Visit Socks and Sandals and look for future releases at: http://www.loveandcush.com Miscellaneous Flux (www.miscflux.com, Wash. DC / Harlem) Originally conceived in Washington, D.C. as a psychological experiment, Miscellaneous Flux's main roots lie within jazz, hip hop, hard rock/metal, funk, and classical. Music should speak for itself, and the Flux's sound definitely makes classification irrelevant. United by music, Flux spreads a message of resolving conflicts through common denominators with allowance of personal agendas, spiritual realization through artistic and social liberation, and the ongoing search for the one truth. Music is the ultimate adhesive. The musicians contributing to the Flux experience may be different from gig to gig and album to album, allowing for constant evolution of sound and the continual reinvestment of creative force. Sankofa Bass Project (Undercity / Deep Unda Brooklyn, Underhill) Conceived in Japan and served up in Brooklyn, the Sankofa Bass Project aims to make music that both revels in and destroys genres.Since early 2001 Campbell Kennedy aka Sankofa Bass manipulates and fuses ambient, ragga jungle and hip-hop, crafting music that feeds the mind and moves the ass!
