Elekwent Folk Official

Northern Lights LP by Elekwent Folk - -- --- ---- ----- ------ ------- -------- - Elekwent Folk have gathered up the mist over the Salish Sea, the snow sparkling on the peaks of the North Shore mountains, the climactic sunsets at Wreck Beach, the sizzle of Vancity barbeques, the mushrooms swelling beneath old growth cedars, and condensed it all into a free-spirited explosion of North West Coast hip-hop. The group, consisting of producer AstroLogical, and emcees A-Ro and Slippery Elm, have been together since highschool, and on Northern Lights their chemistry has never been stronger. AstroLogical provides a colourful musical backdrop using jazz and progressive rock samples and raw drum breaks, while Slippery & A-Ro rock a diversity of lyrical styles; from chanted incantations to boom-bap party-rockin funk, they assert themselves both as powerful emcees and adept storytellers. This is hip-hop born of dynamite and passion, of record crates and groove-elixir hip hop that was born on a street corner in the nucleus of an endless cipher. 'Northern Lights' will be available for download @ www.elekwent-folk.bandcamp.com credits released 06 August 2012 Elekwent Folk is: AstroLogical (N. Drobner), A-Ro (A. Hernandez), & Slippery Elm (G. Kennedy) Beats & Production by: AstroLogical Engineered by: AstroLogical, A-Ro Mixed by: AstroLogical Mastered by Mike Moxham Album art by Matt Andres

Sneak-peek from yesterdays Video shoot for an upcoming video for the song “Energies" featuring my good friend Claire Mortifee.

I want to give a huge thanks to Devon Mussett from Lawn Party Films for bringing everything together and really make this all it could be. I’ve never been involved in such a production and it felt like a milestone for me.

I also want to say thank you to Inga Avedyan for capturing all these behind the scenes photos for us and the crew.

Peace to the cast, crew, extras and single piece of sushi I got to eat. I love you.

Look out for the video and solo A-Ro EP in the next few months. LOVE and more love, -A
