about

Le Sony'r Ra (1914-1993), known better under the name Sun Ra (born Herman Poole Blount), was an prolific American jazz composer, synthesizer and piano player, poet and bandleader that was known for his avant-garde and experimental music. During his career, he put an emphasis on “cosmic” philosophy and theatrical performances, in which is most prominent in his group, the Sun Ra Arkestra. Known for his eclectic and ever-changing jazz style, he would range from sub-styles of ragtime and bebop to fusion and free jazz. Though he had limited mainstream success, he continued to be a frequent recording artist and live performer throughout life. He was as innovative and influential as he was controversial, and his discography of over 1000 tracks continues to speak for itself. Among his distinctions are his pioneering work in free and modal jazz and usage of synthesizers and electronic keyboards. SPACE IS THE PLACE!

Gregory Shorter Jr. (1978-2019), better known by his stage name Ras G, was an American record producer and DJ from Los Angeles, California. He was leader of the Afrikan Space Program, a co-founder of the Poo-Bah Records label, was associated with Brainfeeder, as well as releasing over 30 albums and mixtapes via Leaving Records, Stones Throw, Fat Beats, All-City Records, Akashik, Dublab, Hit+Run and his own Ghetto Sci-Fi imprint, amongst many others since his debut in 2008. Ras G became known for his extensive crate-digging and ability to conjure cosmic atmospheres with his beats, typically with an outer space theme. After coming to prominence in the late-2000s, Ras G maintained a constant artistic pace, often releasing multiple albums per year. ASP FOREVER!

J.Rocc launched his vision of forming a DJ crew comprised of talented musicians, by introducing to the world Southern California’s first turntable band – the Beat Junkies. A prized accomplishment enthusiastically received by worldwide audiences, J.Rocc continues to invent musical styles that display his creative expertise. Highly recognized for his funky showcases and original arrangements, J.Rocc has clearly distinguished his place in music history and continues to inspire worldwide audiences through his entertaining performances & showcases of musical creativity. CA ALL DAY!
