Año de inicio / formación: 2009 Luz incandescente para develar los micro cosmos perdidos del hip-hop . Después de varios años en silencio total bajo el nombre Butterfly , en su proyecto Digable Planets , Ishmael Butler decidió aventurarse en algo completamente diferente. La ciudad de Seattle como base, la música del futuro como meta. Abstracciones hiperactivas de un género que ha llegado al ridículo de popularidad. Música inteligente para una escena gastada, donde es más importante el brillo en tu cuello que lo que tienes que decir. [...]

Blue Scholars "Cinematropolis" release party photo by Dave Lichterman Wondering where a certain record might land in KEXP’s countdown of the top albums of the last 40 years ? You’re not the only one.

Så er det endelig blevet tid til at præsentere den anden og sidste nye skribent her på Regnsky: Peter Pishai Storgaard er navnet. Peter er, som den eneste her på Regnsky, bosat på den anden side af Bæltet, hvor han studerer journalistik på Medie- og Journalisthøjskolen i Aarhus. For Peter handler formidling om at gøre emnet tilgængelig for så mange som muligt, så han vil i sine artikler præsentere både etablerede og spirende kunstnere på en vedkommende og let forståelig facon. Velkommen til, Peter! For mit vedkommende er det bedste ved at rejse alle [...]

I was driving back home from the opening night of the UMS in the early hours of Friday morning, happy to have seen so many of my Denver friends and heard the music from so many talented bands spilling into the street along Broadway. As I headed east, there was no way of knowing what was unfolding at that very moment just a few miles down the road-a horrific, unfathomable scene which has brought devastation, confusion, and anger into the hearts of so many here in our community. Upon learning of those senseless events on Friday morning, [...]

Hip-Hop was one of the loudest voices of the last generation, at least in America. Artists like Run DMC, Public Enemy, and Beastie Boys crafted an exciting new genre out of the music that came before them . When I was younger everyone talked about how influential figures like Eminem and Jay-Z were, but I never found the music accessible. I grew up on the other side of the fence, listening to Death Metal acts such as Napalm Death. I was twelve then. Now twenty, my music tastes are more [...]
