Y-Love
=====
Y-Love (Yitz Jordan) is an MC unlike any other. He is a black convert into the Bostener sect of chassidus (the mystical branch of Orthodox Judaism). He among the most innovative freestylers on the scene, weaving seamless polyglot rhymes in English, Arabic, Yiddish, and Hebrew. Most unique is Y Love's revival of Aramaic, the ancient language used to discuss Jewish Law. With each word he spits in the tongue of the Talmud, Y-Love breathes new life into Hasidism, and hip-hop one beat at a time.
Jake Break
========
Jake Break is a souled-out independent hip hop producer. His music bridges Afro Beat, Brazilian jazz and funk rhythms with layers of instruments that stray far from the standard boom-bap loops. Jake Break opens a world whose doors have been passed through by the likes of DJ Shadow and RJD2. He is a 60's hairgreased, 8o's turbo creased, 70's jazz and funked out piece. Generational genre smashing dipped in the finest fleece.
DJ Handler
========
The brains behind Modular Moods and many of the hyped parties in and around NYC, dj handler's music defies stereotypes. He frequently includes collaborations with non-electronic musicians, creating textural fusions of live and recorded sound. He references Ashkenazic cantorial music, traditional Yemenite melodies and hip hop. dj handler is a multi cultural maestro that spins a mix of Baile Funk and Afro Beat blended with 80's free style and hip hop, which gets the most famous US clubs to resemble the craziest festivals abroad. |
