Editor's review
Sheveks Masada's sprinkles his brand of funky, dark break beat with provoking bits of political discourse, spacey organs and plenty of dubbed-out, obtuse samples. With years of DJ experience to pull from, Sheveks Masada keeps the music fresh and the rhythms tight, while tweaking it just enough to keep your head churning and your body groovin'.
Biography
One of the most interesting aspects of interacting with mad genius turntable scientists is sorting through all their multiple personalities. When we first met Smaze, a funky monk painting hip hop production with constant variation in the rhythms and melody, he went as Beneath Autumn Sky, a groovy blend of dub and lo-fi house that never fails to get the party started.
More recently the crazy kid's been calling himself Sheveks Masada, (the parking lot were origami druids go to die. or so he claims) a continuation of the BAS feel, but with a glitchy more experimental twist.
Now he's stopped by with Hip Hop for Dishwashers Scumballs and Upstartsan elegant compilation of all these previous projects, with a reinvigorated dedication to keeping the diy style proudly front and center.
Sheveks Masada has the amazing ability to make a few chopped words riding the rapids of his beats more meaningful then a hand full of poets could conjure. CUZ' BY GOLLY I REMEMBER!
Oh yeah and one more thing, he is the only entity we know who can spin a record, ink a tattoo, and change a dirty diper simultaneously. Truly a Renaissance man.
