Ground Lift Media, The Dirty Social, and Redlight Productions present:
Lollapalooza 2010 artists Ancient Astronauts (Switchstance Recording/ESL Music) for an exclusive pre-festival engagement at the Darkroom on August 5, 2010. Fresh off their recent tour with fellow producers Thievery Corporation, this concert marks the Ancient Astronaut’s first ever Chicago performance.
Ancient Astronauts, in theory, were believed to be extraterrestrial beings and some of the greatest influences of human culture, organizational perception, technologies. In their earthly forms, band members Kajanbak and Dogu hail from Cologne, Germany bringing an inimitable sound that combines the unthinkable new with the rhythms of generations past. They together are a production team, working with artists including Imani and Bootie Brown of the Pharcyde, Ladybug Mecca of Digable Planets, Raashan Ahmad of Crown City Rockers, Ali Farka Toure, Tippa Irie, Zion I, Azeem, and Bajka. Their most recent album ‘We Are to Answer’ was released on ESL Music, a D.C.-based label home to Thievery Corporation, Frederic Aubele, & Ursula 1000 among others. Amid a hectic touring schedule, they continue to release music and mixes, in accompaniment to running their own label, Switchstance Recordings.
Also joining the festivities are Chicago’s esteemed DJs John Simmons, DJ Trew (Ground Lift Media), DJ Intel (Dirty Social), and DJ NewLife.
