Slack Baba

A melting pot of fluid grooves and swirling psychedelic melodies, blended with a healthy dose of dubby phatness and a touch of the ethnic, Slackbaba's music draws the listener through a labyrinth of pulsing rhythms and mind-altering sonic states. Jonny's debut album on Liquid Records, ‘…and the beat goes om…’ demonstrates his skills of sound manipulation and organic instrumentation with a new take on psychedelic electronica, combining quality production and skilful musicianship with an ability to cross genres tastefully.

Kyle Eastwood

Kyle grew up in Carmel California and is the eldest son of the Hollywood star Clint Eastwood.

Free the Robots

From Elsewhere comes Free the Robots, A balance of everything that is music. The Robot sound pays homage to the past with a drive for the future blending elements of Jazz, Hip Hop, Electronica, Bossanova, Experimental, Soul, Psychedelic, Rock, etc... ęIn a musical world where anything that has a guitar can be called "rock," it's difficult to find music that is really creative. It's even harder to find a band that is willing to take risks, and expand their art. But those things can be found in Free the Robots."
