After cutting teeth in the Atlanta underground music scene since the days of ole Lenny’s on Memorial while fronting the experimental psych outfit, Social Espionage, and the more rock oriented, Weird Sin, Lucas Conor returns to the stage as LucasintheSky, crafting dark and layered soundscapes that feature enigmatic vocal arrangements over highly processed beats & samples.

2 decades of tinkering with musical instruments can go a lot of different ways and that’s exactly where Christopher Ian Brooker went and is going with Where.Are.We. He wistfully combines elements of ambient electronica, afro beat, and hip hop and stews it with the heat of raw psychedelic rock and roll. Live he lets the material stew a bit more; bringing in moments of improvisation and raw emotion, followed by somber lulls of fading outros. He has graced the stage with the likes of Tobacco, Wax Tailor, and Jel (of Anticon fame) and has worked on countless sessions across Atlanta and the country. The first full length And.Who.Are.All.These.Mystics was named one of the top 10 albums of 2012 by Ohmpark and the new EP Engineer’s Handbook Vol. 1 was honored in Creative Loafing’s Best of Atlanta 2013 and voted Best Trip-Hop Krautrock Pysch-Pop Underdog in Creative Loafing’s Best of Atlanta 2014.

Atlanta-native DJ Throwback Soul started out making pause tapes in the 90’s, fostering a love of music old and new through a growing passion of Hip-Hop and the culture that surrounds it.  Blowing college money on a pair of Technics and a mixer in the mid 2000’s meant to pay rent and never really turning back from that kind of passion, Throwback spent the better part of a decade learning his craft & acquiring music in while establishing himself as “the most front and center head in the city of Atlanta”, truly embracing the role “Patron of the Arts”.  He has focused the craft into “Hot Melting Face”, a short-length exploration of psychedelic hip-hop, surf punk, math rock, and an assortment of genres which has received praise from his peers and fans alike for breaking genre conventions while somehow growing more self-assured and some may say self aware as it has grown from those humble beginnings.
