Table for the 1 triples with object "Hailing from the astoundingly talented depths of the Bay Area's independent music scene, Psychokinetics have been moving crowds with their bangin' beats, positive vibes, and distinct brand of underground hip-hop since 1995. Delivering hip-hop in its most pure and creative state, this classic recipe of one DJ (Denizen) and two Emcees (Celsius 7 and Spidey) provide consistent heat that has been attracting not only a larger fan base of late, but also an impressive string of musical cameos and collaborators such as Omega of Blackalicious and Raashan Ahmad of Crown City Rockers.
Drawing on a wide range of production talent (DJ Denizen, DJ Ill Media, Dirt Nasty, and Slurface Tone), Psychokinetics are known for delivering a catchy underground sound that appeals to fans of Gorillaz, Ghostface Killah, and De La Soul. With styles ranging from bass heavy party anthems and rhymes flipped over jungle beats to downtempo reflective tracks and scratch laden instrumentals, Psychokinetics constantly demonstrate all the many the benefits of their long histories as musicians together; Celcius 7 and Spidey have amazing back-and-forth flow as Emcees and the group delivers a tight, polished sound that gets heads nodding and butts shaking.
On their latest album, Seven League Boots the four man crew eases off of the experimentation from their debut and focuses more on hip-hop that walks the fine line between underground and accessible. By blending the introspective and lyrical tracks like "Badlands" with bouncy dance tunes like "Feeldismusick" and "Bigtime" (Featuring Zion I), Psychokinetics are poised to garner a larger following throughout the hip hop community and beyond.
Not only do Psychokinetics deliver in the studio, but the band is known for an energetic, engaging, and infectious live show as well. They've built a strong fan base from Japan to Denver to Hawaii, and of course the Bay Area, where they've shared the stage with such hip-hop luminaries including KRS-One, Biz Markee, DJ Premier, Black Sheep, Digital Underground, Kool Keith, and more. In addition to winning a John Lennon Songwriting Award, the Psychokinetics placed as finalists in the Musicians Atlas Independent Music Awards for best hip hop artist.
In the words of Celcius 7, "This is music for the people, the artists, the dancers, the emcees, the DJs, those who love soulful music, and those who embrace the trials and celebrations of being alive." Watch out for these breakthrough artists as they extensively tour in support of Seven League Boots, and keep an eye out for their narrative lounge album due out in 2006."^^xsd:string on predicate ns2:olb sorted by label
