REBELUTION |
Performing live: |
Rebelution first united in Santa Barbara, California, built
from a wide array of musical backgrounds. With Reggae as the
focus, the group set out to create a fresh and vibrant sound
which they dub California Reggae. The band released their
highly anticipated full-length album in June of 2007 and just
weeks after its release, "Courage to Grow" became one of the
most downloaded Reggae albums on iTunes. By the end of the
year, it had been awarded the iTunes Editors Choice: Best
Reggae Album 2007. "Apparently, California Reggae is
hot. Stemming from a foundation of local support, Rebelution
soared into iTunes Reggae Top 10 (album downloads), amongst
some lofty company. Lofty like Bob, Stephen, and Damian
Marley." This is also DNA Lounge's first ever all-ages event! |

DIGABLE PLANETS |
Performing live:
Digable Planets
(Ladybug Mecca, Butteryfly & Doodlebug) |
Though they were not the first to synthesize jazz and hip-hop,
Digable Planets epitomized the laid-back charm of jazz
hipsters better than any group before or since. Their 1993
debut, "Reachin' A New Refutation of Time and Space"
took us on a mellow ride laced with samples from Sonny Rollins
and Curtis Mayfield and offered the essential hit, "Rebirth
of a Slick: Cool Like Dat". "Cool Like Dat" topped
the charts and can still ignite a party fifteen years later.
After earning a Grammy Award for "Best New Group", Digable
Planets went onto create their best album to date, Blowout
Comb. Successfully fusing jazz and hip hop, old school
and street, Digable Planets eventually hit a roadblock, and
creative differences prompted nearly a decade of solo projects
and collaborations for the individual members. As the ten year anniversary of Blowout Comb approached, the group announced their reunion and promptly recorded Beyond the Spectrum: The Creamy Spy Chronicles. Blue Note released the work in 2005. |

young act. Drawing from influences ranging everywhere from AFI
and Nine Inch Nails to modern EBM and noise, this album stands
as a cathartic dance floor classic. SITD's bone-crunching beats and apocalyptical electro hymns are brought together in a very energetic live performance. SITD can be counted amongst the most acclaimed electronic projects of the present international club scene. Aesthetic Perfection breathes new life into EBM. Ranging from pounding Electro beats to melodic IDM textures, their first release, Close to Human explores the depths of what makes you human. |
