NOSAJ THING

After cutting his teeth by making music on various archaic computers and programs in his early years, Nosaj Thing is now, without a doubt, among L.A.’s finest musical modulators. His electronic soundscapes and wild beat tectonics play like vignettes that affect the listener’s mind as deeply as he hits their soul. Nosaj Thing creates nothing less than the sound mastery of beat driven, experimental electronics from a gifted noise constructor. ??His debut album Drift was released by Alpha Pup in June 2009 to unanimous global acclaim. Pitchfork awarded an excellent 7.9 rating, calling the album “gorgeously haunted… sonic Easter Eggs for a thousand listens.” The album peaked at 5 on the iTunes Electronic chart, and went all the way to 1 on Bleep and Boomkat. The success of Drift led to Nosaj Thing being featured in magazines such as Spin, Fader, XLR8R, The New Yorker, Nylon and URB. He has received regular airplay on BBC Radio 1 and Los Angeles’ KCRW, while his engaging live set has made him a staple of the worldwide underground touring circuit. “L.A.-based producer Nosaj Thing pits gritty electronics à la Justice?against sultry hip-hop undertones–and the two worlds meet with a?surprising smoothness. This is one producer worth keeping an eyeon.”– XLR8R Magazine?“Nosaj Thing sculpts swelling synths from a lopsided hiphop template.”?– Fader Magazine?“Nosaj Thing is the new generation of prognostic producer and beastly?freestyle beat conductor.” — Urb Magazine?“He’s blazed Low End Theory on multiple occasions, leaving the crowd?deaf and dumbfounded.
