dB Festival 2008 : Innerflight Showcase

INNERFLIGHT SHOWCASE

Mike Monday (London) : DJ - OM, Freerange Records Noah Pred (Toronto) : Live - Thoughtless Music m.0 (Seattle) : Live - Innerflight, From 0-1 Kadeejah Streets (Seattle) : DJ - Innerflight J-Sun (Seattle) : DJ - Innerflight

For dirty filthy beats that make you want to dance, the Innerflight Showcase will not disappoint. Funky grime meets real time and a tech-house will be built out of pure passion and the thrill of creation. A Seattle power player of music production and party promotion, Innerflight has kept the community on its toes by bringing to the city talent the likes of Mike Monday; his eclectic, multifaceted style is a perfect match for the label, pushing musical boundaries past the point of genre and into a world of sound that can only be empirically understood and never described. Monday’s sound can be found anywhere from the land of ambient melodies to the ocean of electro-funk to the sky-high realms of hip-hop; his new release on Om Records, “Songs Without Words– Part I” is due for release in September.

Noah Pred recently killed at MUTEK with a live tech-house PA; his innovative percussion techniques, user-friendly dance beats, and portentious bass lines are infused with sense of humor that goes needle-in-groove with Innerflight’s lived mentality of spontaneity and straight-up funkiness. Along with Seattle scene superstars Kadeejah Streets, J-Sun, and m.0 (with single “Lift Us Up” soon to be released on the Innerflight Label), this showcase will illuminate the versatility bred from open musical minds and eclectic environments, much to your ongoing pleasure and delight- if you like dirty filthy beats that make you want to dance, that is.
