Last night Shabazz Palaces performed to an undulating crowd of listeners intoxicated by the pulsating sounds of ancient rhythms combined with intergalactic echoes and Ishmael Butler's OG raps. They stretched out their songs live, built up the beats organically, and spaced out; blending each track into each other, creating kinetic momentum shattering everyone's paradigms of hip hop/rap music. The energy from their bodies and instruments shattered the sound system, the low end was too much for the speakers to handle creating a lush audible environment and mayhem for the sound man. They didn't talk to the crowd, they simply came to the stage and went into an hour long trance, hypnotizing the entire audience.
