In the last year or so, Non Projects has cemented its reputation as one of L.A.'s most creative labels, releasing a steady stream of gorgeous, beat-centric music grounded in jazz and classical teachings. Their latest offering, Rarebit 's Daizo , is another stunner in the already impressive NP catalog, which currently houses the vibrant visions of label head and former Alpha Pup/Friends of Friends intern Brian Simon (aka Anenon), Ryan York (aka Asura), Ana Caravelle, and a.d.l.r/ROM-DOS. Like the artwork, Daizo is a densely colorful, strikingly elegant, and intensely moving album from Justin Hopkins, [...]

A video from the forthcoming Rarebit album, Daizo. It's been released this week on Non Projects . Rarebit is the pseudonym of electronic music producer and composer Justin Hopkins, and his latest release has a concept that can't be caught by listening to a single song. The album is an exploration of familial genetics via music, taking inspiration from his own relatives to create a set of tracks that are different, but resemble one another in certain ways. Some tracks blatantly sample others on the album. With the track above, "Mt. Weather," Justin combines ambient [...]
Visual artist Justin Hopkins a.k.a. RareBit transcends media for first full length album. Lacking discernible melodies or time signatures Daizo prevails as true artistic expression. Music Player (reviews): [...]

On vous vantait les mérites de Ben Butler & Mousepad la semaine dernière. Aujourd'hui on remet le couvert et on s'attarde un peu plus sur l'EP à paraître le 12 septembre prochain en écoutant le titre éponyme " Gif'N'Run ". Du contre-temps, du beep, du synthé, du son retro-gaming en veux-tu, en voilà. Inspirés des 802s et 902s avec une bonne dose de musique futuriste, le duo Joe Howe aux claviers/machines et Bastian Hagedorn à la batterie nous offrent une musique analogique allemande sortie de la maison française [...]
This song from brand new artist RareBit sounds neurotic as all get out- as soon as a groove is established, it's already onto something else. That could be unsettling, but it's engineered so well that it doesn't seem to matter. Jumbled digital funk. Get the free download on SoundCloud . And stay tuned! We're workin' on something real real cool coming soon. That was vague, but seriously, prep your ears.
It's time to let go, summer is finally here and we're proud to say that we have a good list of albums this season for you and your friends to wreak havoc to. Make sure to drop all of those worries and get familiar with that carefree outlook on life; soundtracked with some incredible music, of course.
The L.A. based multi-disciplinary artist, Justin Hopkins, first expanded his creative palette when he jumped at a gig in sound design on a whim. Armed with little previous experience, Hopkins decided to run with the stress-inducing mission until he got the job done. Now that he can attest to skills in a variety of trades, Hopkins is eager to pursue every cooperative opportunity that comes his way, including his latest project, RareBit . With influences ranging from classic 90s Nickelodeon television to field recordings from Thailand and beyond, RareBit's diverse designs generate premeditated images and colors through a labyrinth [...]
RareBit Destroyer Non Projects The Destroyer EP is as earth-shattering as its name suggests, but keep in mind that this is "controlled chaos." Each hectic reverberation on Justin Hopkins' debut EP is calculated and given space to grow only insofar as it bows to his desire. The 24-year-old professional illustrator, graphic designer, and sound designer is currently based in L.A. where he's signed to Non-Projects. Label owner, Brian Simon, aided this phenom in piecing together The Destroyer EP, a sound bite of Hopkins' upcoming full-length debut expected to drop [...]
