BEANS -- As a member of Antipop Consortium, Beans was credited as the source of most of the bands eclecticism and unpredictability. His abstract sense of syncopation of bizarre, labrynth rhymes is the perfect embodiment of the Antipop philosophy, and his production style is complex and cleverly understated. His first three solo albums allowed him to delve deeper into his strange inner world, and his forthcoming End It All is a diversification, with Beans bringing in more outside production and colaborating with the likes of Tunde Adebimpe (TV On The Radio) and Sam Fogarino (Interpol).

EDAN (w/ PATEN LOCKE) -- Edan could be considered the bridge between the boom bap hip-hop of the Cold Crush and the spaced out alternative hip-hop of Busdriver and Aesop Rock. A Berklee alum who is both a balanced producer and technically proficient MC, Edan's diverse style is extremely polished and compliments his numerous collaborators, be they Mr. Lif, Akrobatiks, Murs and DOOM. His first released LP Primitive Weapons was the debut pressing of Lewis Records, a boutique UK hip-hop label going 9 years strong. He is also a skilled DJ and his mixtapes, the latest being 2009's Echo Party are some of the most hip-hop collections available. For the February 16 show, he will be joined by another hip-hop renaissance man, Paten Locke, whose style highlights tongue-in-cheek rhymes and jazzed-out tracks.

Meat Beat Manifesto with Not Breathing and music by Jack Dangers

Saturday, February 19, 7:30PM

18+ // TICKETS

For 13 years Meat Beat Manifesto has been laying down frenetic beats and for just as long critics have had trouble defining them. Their heavy, layered and atmospheric sounds, anchored by permanent member Jack Dangers, have been categorized as "IDM," "Industrial," "Techno," and "Trip-hop," but their dark and barren tone have always given them a distinct and recognizable sound.PopMatters called their 2010 LPAnswers Come In Dreams, "infinitely listenable."
