"Burnt Sugar Vs Ramm El Zee--Burnt Sugar is pan-African conducted improv at it's loopiest. Ramm El Zee is a painter, sculptor, MC, hiphop astrophysicist who devised Ikonoklast Panzerism, a theory that sees graf as Alpha Betic warfare. He can be seen in the legendary film WildStyle and heard inventing a style of rhyming that would influence The Beastie Boys, Cypress Hill and Zach De Rocha on the equally epochal 12 inch single "Beat Bop/Ramm El Zee Vs K. Rob" produced by Jean Michel-Basquiat. Come witness the clash of our madnesses!" (photo: Shiho Fukada)

Plus, due to popular response, Burnt Sugar has released their previous giveaway item for Burnt Sugar CD purchasers (hey, that's some love for the audience) Chopped and Screwed Volume 2. A collection of re-mixes from a band that never plays the same thing once, so a quote goes (although I think the repeated motif on Blood on the Leaf - Opus No.1, may nullify that claim. I quite enjoy that motif, so I'm not complaining). Available as a limited release (uh, should I be listing this before I get mine?--Hmm, fortunately, not a lot of people read this besides me...).
Where? Where else but CDBaby (love 'em!).

"Tranzducer.008 is is very lucky to host three of the most talented and accomplished individuals ever to grace the LEMURplex stage. Stephen Lehman (pictured below, left), Downbeat magazine's two-time "Rising Star" pick on alto saxophone, will be debuting new work for computer and sax.




Leon Gruenbaum (pictured below), inventor of the Samchillian Tip Tip Tip Cheeepeeeee, [and who also plays with Vernon Reid and Yohimbe Brothers] will be presenting his new project "Genes and Machines." And last, but certainly not least, we'll behearing from creative force and ex-Antipop Consortium member High Priest (a.k.a. HPRIZM) (pictured above, right). As always, Season of the Bit video game tune selections between sets."
