• DJ Grun - “Grun has found himself enjoying extremely abstract music more now than ever, and decided a set of all experimental music along with live vocals would be a fascinating sonic endeavor. Armed with loads of tunes from himself, local artists, and a slew of Black Saturn’s original compositions, he aims to redefine standards for innovative music. In this set you can expect experimental hip hop, ambient soundscapes, musique concrete, field recordings, and bizarre IDM.”
• Black Saturn - “In a infinite world of sound. Sound is the companion of our thoughts. Black Saturn is a concept created in this reality. Life is a rhythm in a series of thoughts. The heart is an acoustic drum nothing is new and nothing is old under the pulsating pattern of emotions percussion. The mind is a improviser a drum machine echoing in the reverberation of the subconscious until it becomes a drum pattern in the conscious the noise of change thought battles to over come as a rhythm. I’m a warrior drum the most feared of all instruments calling things into being that are not as tho they already where.”
