Rhett Whatley (Daily Bread) calls upon an expansive record collection to compose unique, genre-bending experimental hip hop, electro-soul, and EDM. A background of traditional percussion and jazz guitar contribute a unique foundation that drives the Daily Bread sound to what it has become – a fusion of gritty soul, funk, jazz, EDM, and most notedly – hip hop. These elements give way to a danceable beat driven sound reminiscent of DJ Shadow and RJD2. Daily Bread started in 2008 as a sample-based hip hop project while attending Kennesaw State University. The Daily Bread sound has evolved ever since, combining traditional sample-based hip hop with modern bass-driven production techniques.- Philos Records

 

Living Light – Psy Dub- Entrancing dub and body-moving uptempo electronic opuses are the hallmark of the Living Light sound, blending global beats, indigenous voices, swirling symphonic melodies, and a dash of psychedelia that has lit up audiences coast to coast. Eartha Harris officially launched her Living Light project in 2012 having spent half a decade behind the keyboards in the pioneering live electronic hybrid Psylab. She now has two full albums and two EP’s under the Living Light name, her most recent pair released in 2016 on Desert Dwellers’ Desert Trax label, in addition to compilation appearances on Merkaba Music and Sofa Beats, and official remixes for Papadosio, CloZee, David Starfire, Wildlight, Desert Dwellers, and many more heavy-hitters on the festival circuit. “The Great Attractor”, released on Desert Trax 7/6/2018 strikes a balance between uptempo dance and psy-dub while maintaining its connection to that classic Living Light sound. The name “Living Light” has multiple interpretations, and simultaneously refers to living non-materialistically, maintaining a positive outlook, and all life originating from star-stuff. – Soundcloud

“Fills EP is an album of jazzy, glitchy downtempo meant to channel the peculiar and beautiful experience of life through the medium of electronic music. With Fills EP, I further and more deeply explore the idea of the artist as alchemist. From the first foley sample to the final glimmering glaze of glitchiness, layer upon layer of audio, midi, and all manner of percussive potpourri are brought forth from the vast and mysterious higher realm known as my sound library and meticulously manipulated like sound-paint until a brand new piece emerges which can be thought of as the embodiment of novelty, art that surprises even its creator. I have thoroughly enjoyed the process of helping these tracks create themselves, and I hope you enjoy them!” – Sam Andrus (5AM)
