Prefuse 73
The work of a one guna supersharpshooter with an army of aliases who mostly answer to the name of Scott Herron. Ensconced in Atlanta, GA outland anonymity is the perfect cover for this Clark Kent of the mixing desk. But he doesn't need a telephone kiosk to transform into a carbon-based biped skewering humans with blockrockin beats or serial seducer wowing one and all with supple instrumental flow with an ability to mesh with any scene. Scott's nice networking reveals the extent of his dexterity, equally at home 'neath The balmy palms of tourist trapping Miami as working in Chicago, lllinois with Tortoise stickman Johnny Herndon & The Sea & Cake's Sam Prekop, budding & blossoming talents in a fecund field of hothouse flowers.
 
The prefuse project reflects Scotts desire to rebuild rap from the roots. Technological imperative springs from material impulse. Scott's watched his home town turn into a haven for hiphophustlers who'd played themselves out in NY magpie-eyed B-boys with bling bling fixations whose heavyweight status is demarcated by the hi-score carats and mineral weights of their chunky chains & chubby rings. Put the hot rocks back in the jewelry box kids, Scott's mining a richer seen. (from Warp records)

Low Down Brass Band
Staying true to the New Orleans street beat tradition, the Low Down Brass Band parades onto the Chicago music scene by merging elements of funk, jazz, reggae, calypso, R&B, and modern day hip-hop to ignite an instant party wherever they perform. The Low Down Brass, in maintaining with the Second Line tradition, use trumpets, trombones, saxophones, tuba, and percussion in an always changing line-up that makes for a fresh, unpredictable, rump-shakin' good time. With these boys jumping around on stage, swapping axes and hootin' and hollerin', you'll swear you were on Bourbon Street. Laissez les bontemps roulez. (from Low Down Brass Band)

Multi media electronica on the edge.
 
K Michaels Band
Kevin, his family, and his friends grew up in and around Eckhart Park. They follow in a long tradition of Chicagoans that have electrified and danceable blues music in mind and the ability to deliver it with deft skill. A chillied concoction of frenzied emotion.
