Release Date: March 17, 2009
Artist: Abai
Album: Fearless
Fearless is a cultural alchemy – a spell cast from our time’s most revolutionary of sounds – dubstep and hip hop meets a burner breaks delivery with catchy, bass-heavy instrumentation and dare-we-say, pop music sensibility. The evolution is logical, and only a brave soul could summons these deadly styles together.
Abai’s Fearless is bold as its title suggests – a poetic adventure ranging from party tracks and lust to conscious societal and political imagery. Following music from coast to coast, Abai developed his musical talents for drums and piano from a young age and started to procure his sounds for hip-hop over a decade ago.
Most recently, Abai’s production has been featured on Myka 9 of legendary Haiku D’etat’s recent project Magic Heart Genies, seeing a 12″ release last October. Following Street Ritual’s highly acclaimed debut KnowSleep, Abai’s first solo full-length effort Fearless promises an empoweringlisten, sure to keep you bumpin’ anywhere you can pump the bass.

Release Date: July 1, 2008
Artist: KnowSleep
Album: KnowSleep (self-titled)
KnowSleep is here. The premier album from Bay Area producers Knowa KnowOne and Sleepyhead. 17 Tracks of the finest quality audio, including interludes by spoken word artist Taylor Maiden Space.
KnowSleep is HipHop, Breakbeat, Dubstep, Pychedelic and Reggae all fused together into something completely unique. Ethnic and indigenous ancient rhythms are blended and syncopated to finely tuned breaks, beats and bass. The star around which everything revolves is the production, which is thick in bass tones, complex yet transparent drum programming, and beautiful melodies. KnowSleep is a head-nodding hiphop lover’s icy journey, but the destination is viscous, even unimportant. It is also a keen reflection of America’s current state, a stoic call to action and a vision of your nearest future, conceived with the purest of intent. KnowSleep is on a spiritual journey, and you would be wise to join them.
KnowSleep marks the conception and inaugural release of Street Ritual recordings.

Seasunz is most recently featured on Bassnectar’s “Underground Communication”. Instrumentals, remixes and mid tempo bass monsters from other artists will soon follow.
