This is what they has to say about our Muti showcase :
Genres: Breakbeat / Crunk / Dub / Glitch / Hip Hop / IDM / Visual
Description:
Muti Music was born in the hazy land of San Francisco, an area long known for innovative trends in art and technology that provided a perfect setting for the emergence of a new type of experimental bass music that the region is now known for. Since 2002 this fresh and dynamic label has supported and promoted the wide minds of artists both domestic and international, making a distinctive mark on the evolution of West Coast Sound. Tribal futurists have found a home with Muti, which is the Bantu word for ‘tree’ or ‘herbal medicine,’ and all who hear this young record label’s organic and transformative sound will indeed experience a catharsis by crunk.

Heyoka begins your healing journey with his gurgling and grinding strain of psychedelic beats, the bass drenching your body in heady reverb as light cosmic sounds bubble out of your brain and lift you to another plane. Mimosa’s sexy, dub-infused basslines continue the warm expedition through a beautiful, beat-soaked soundscape, slapping you ever so lightly now and again to make sure you haven’t slipped into oblivion. The founder of Muti Music, Dov, pushes through boundaries with an elevated and emotive sound; his diverse and adaptive style marks the experience of this San Francisco mainstay. Finally an-ten-nae puts the crunchy cherry on top with his slick blend of broken beats, freaky funk and twists from tomorrow, completing your dosage of music as medicine.

Warning: This medicine has been found to be highly addictive and can lead to spastic convulsions, particularly on the dance floor, often resulting in ecstatic joy and a feeling of complete freedom.

Artist: Nanda
Title: Beyond Mind
Cat # Muti042
UPC # 705105138305
Special thanks to Clay Collar (http://constantcreation.org/) for his work on artwork and design.

Nanda is fast becoming known as one of the US west coasts bass maestro’s with tracks like his ‘Yoda Knowledge’ being the # 1 seller on Addictech for 2009 and also featuring prominently on Beatport and Juno Download charts. So once again we’ve got some heavy bass driven beats, this time Nanda drops an experience of deep beats occasionally filled out with tribal vocals, light atmospheric accents and overall driven by textured basslines.
Nanda typically dips into multiple influences and emerges with something broken in beats and flirting with Dubstep, Grime, Garage, Electro Bass and Downtempo music genre classifications. The result is something that pushes a few edges technologically and somehow retains a sense of worldliness.

Regular Muti roster artists playing at Symbiosis Gathering this week are An-ten-nae, Dov, Heyoka, Kether, Knowa Knowone and Mimosa.

His production know-how and willingness to collaborate has led to him working with many accomplished musicians and this time around collaborating with Toronto based Techno producer adamduke and the pair deliver an experimental EP that moves from minimalist tech-house through to dubstep and is as twisted as it is dance friendly and very playful while at it.

Pro Mobile Magazine Review:
Music that is as progressive as ‘The Orb’ crossing territories never before dreamed of. D’n’B and a slightly Eastern influence combine in a fusion of spacewalk grooves that are superbly crafted. Describing it as ‘New Age’ is the truth, but don’t go thinking that this is some sort of bohemian adventure, because both tracks play tricks withj your mind and drop in unexpected items just when you are least expecting them. ‘Thwomp’ attack could be set in a warzone anywhere…anywhere in the universe that is. If you want action, look no further than the cool cuts for its first escapade.

Artist: An-ten-nae
Title: Acid  Crunk EP5
Cat # Muti037
UPC # 705105138107

An-ten-nae - Acid Crunk EP 5 fulfills all the themes that have been featured in this ‘acid crunk’ series that has included performances and remixes by Ghislain Poirier, Face-T, Lawgiverz, Dov, Samba and Outersect.
This time round we are honored to also have Jamaican dancehall star ‘Buccaneer’ featured twice, delivering an awesome vocal performance that flows effortlessly over heavy basslines.

An-ten-nae takes influences from Grime, Dubstep, Hyphe Hip Hop and his prior productions in Electro House and Breakbeat and creates infectious beats for the dancefloor. This new crunked out midtempo sound with driving beats and big hitting basslines has the talk of the west coast and is gaining more attention with BBC Radio - Mary Anne Hobbs recently featuring one of An-ten-nae’s tracks  in her ‘West Coast Rocks’ show along with  Glitch Mob, Lazer Sword and Gasslamp Killer, following her US west coast tour.

An-ten-ane and his epic club night ‘Get Freaky’ in San Francisco have been a huge factor in pushing this emerging sound, playing alongside everyone from Freq Nasty to Sinden, Medhi, Jahcoozi, Sebastian, Modeselektor, Drop The Lime and the who’s who of ‘Acid Crunk / Glitch Hop’ scenes from the US west coast including ‘Tipper’, ‘The Glitch Mob’ and ‘Bassnectar’.
We have also commissioned An-ten-nae to compile a compilation of his ‘Acid Crunk’ sound now being supported by accomplished producers globally, keep your ears peeled for our Muti Music updates as it will be dropping with a bang, very soon.

File under: Dubstep / Glitch Hop / Breakbeat

‘The Earth Bleed EP is deep and brooding and at other times playful, humorous and uplifting. ‘
Dov’s original mix of ‘Earth Bleed’ delves into ever expanding basslines and organic textures at times reminiscent of volcanic fissures and atmospheric rips. One of USA’s pioneers of electronica, namely ‘Single Cell Orchestra’ takes things even deeper ‘into the darkness’ with a remix of squelchy basslines and a steady groove. Rounding out the remixes of the title track is LayerZ (also known as Audiovoid) delivers a version that is ghostly, haunting and yet helps dig us out of the deep pit of bass with rolling almost melodic basslines. Moving onwards the EP also features a collaboration track with Canadian breaks, dubstep, glitch, techno, electro producer / man of the moment, ill.gates, the track is almost theatrical in nature, with clear dubstep influences, lots of field recording and sound design and also picking up the pace a little and showing much variety in beats and percussion. The EP is rounded of with an uplifting midtempo breakbeat track that is great for something to round off a night.

Dov is known as a genre pusher, from importing-exporting and selling some of the first ‘Nubreaks’, ‘Dubstep’ & ‘Glitch Hop’ to / from USA and throwing San Francisco’s first dedicated ‘breaks’ weekly in the nineties, to selecting and releasing music for multiple labels including his own, namely ‘Muti Music’. Recently producing dubstep remixes for Sub Swara on Low Motion Recordings and experimental / glitch remixes of Posthuman and Welder on Myuzyk and Cyberset Music respectively,  Dov now emerges from the shadows with an EP of dubstep and midtempo breaks that is a journey of intense emotions.

Muti Music is excited to announce the new signing of a very accomplished producer, Triplet Of Belville (T.O.B) .
T.O.B is French-born Composer & Studio Owner Grégory Reveret,
His musical career started at a very young age, having learned the Clarinet and Piano for several years, he then evolved and applied his musical knowledge into electronic music, where his passion lies. With a style that can only be compared to his own and an ever-evolving “hybrid” attitude to his musical direction, T.O.B is set to make huge waves with his epic sound.
T.O.B also composes for the advertising and visual-media industry, having done music composition for TV Networks such as PBS international, ESPN, MTV and even composed the soundtrack to a hit Animation series which was flighted in 13 countries worldwide.
His diverse production and musical style keeps him up to date on all current trends in the ever evolving musical and visual environments.
“I never limit my musical style to anything, it’s important to always keep an open mind about
new things and analyze what it is that makes peoples emotions ‘tick’, when hearing a musi-
cal piece. I strive to push boundaries as far as I can when I write a piece of music, to give it life, depth & emotion. Finding balance where it can be technically pure as well as emotionally charged,  this is what I hope to achieve every time I write a musical piece”  T.O.B is also producer for the Hip-Hop trio “The Realist” where he is constantly forming and creating new sounds and formulas for his Bowl-Wrenching basslines and crisp, attitude-filled production.

Watch this space, T.O.B is here to stay and is going to create some serious dancefloor carnage!
