Red Bull Sound Select showcases emerging Canadian talent

FUXWITHIT — Wed, 20 Apr 2016 16:39:12 +0000

Next Friday, Red Bull Sound Select’s monthly showcase will be at The Opera House headlined by hip hop star, Ty Dolla $ign. The Manifesto-curated event is one of many birthdays that Manifesto Festival is doing to celebrate their 10th anniversary this year. With the purpose of the Red Bull Sound Select being to “highlight some of the city’s most exciting emerging artists”,Ty Dolla $ign will be supported by Nasty Nigel and 2 local hip hop artists that readers should definitely keep a look out for.

One of those artists, Keita Juma, has already been named one of the 10 up and coming hip hop artists in Toronto by BlogTO. The UK-born, Mississauga living rapper/producer/DJ has a style that one would say is underground rap meets jungle music. If you’re a fan of Skepta’s grime, but love Gesaffelstein’s beats, Keita Juma is someone you should keep on your radar.

On the other hand, Toronto-rapper, ShaqIsDope, doesn’t just have a dope name, but who else can say they collaborated with 4-time NBA Champion, Shaquille O’Neal on a track. Couldn’t think of anyone; yeah me neither. With pedigree like that, the man known as “the Toronto wordsmith”, released his latest EP, Black Frames in March, this HotNewHipHop heatseeker has a sound that almost makes you think you just found the Canadian Hopsin. One can only hope to hear a collaboration with Hopsin or fellow Canadian, Tre Mission in the future.

But don’t just take our word for it; if you’re looking to see what else the Toronto hip hop scene has to offer, check the showcase. More info on tickets can be found here.

Baauer – Searching For Sound Documentary

Colin — Thu, 06 Nov 2014 23:55:46 +0000

Baauer has made a career out of creating bass heavy and widly creative music that is built upon obscure samples. For his upcoming album he opted to move away from finding samples online, instead he hooked up with Nick Hook to travel and record exotic sounds first hand. Bring Red Bull along for the ride they captured the experience in a 26 minute documentary. The documentary provides a brief history of his viral hit ‘Harlem Shake’, footage of his trips to UAE and Japan, and insight into his process in the studio. The travels are like a musical version of Anthony Bourdain’s Parts Unknown; providing viewers tidbits of history and culture. You can check out the preview below and watch the whole doc via Red Bull TV.

Skrillex recently teamed up with Red Bull to bring his tour to new heights (Red Bull gives you wings!). In this case quite literally, as Skrillex and his team built a spaceship that transforms on stage. Though it’s not the first time, the ship is still extremely impressive. The documentary aptly titled “Let’s Make a Spaceship” showcases the development from its inception to the unveiling at Coachella. It provides awesome insight into what goes into Skrillex’s live shows as well as a ton of behind the scenes videos and interviews with the artist and his inner circle. It shines light on Skrillex early career and even features some footage of him skateboarding, playing guitar and making music. Not to mention an inside look at his rehearsal with Fatman Scoop. All in all this is a must watch for any Skrillex fan or any electronic music lover. Stream below and read more about the project over at Red Bull’s artists projects. It’s stuff like this that has cemented Red Bull’s status as the coolest brand out.
