Shredders is a hot new Minneapolis hip-hop group featuring rappers P.O.S. (Stefon Alexander), Sims (Andrew Sims) and producers Paper Tiger (John Samels) and Lazebeak (Aaron Mader), a founding member of the Doomtree hip-hop collective.
Inspired by their “Flipping Cars” collaboration, Shredders released a three-track EP earlier in 2017, featuring the party anthem “Cult 45,” which led to the release of the full-length album Dangerous Jumps, which received rave reviews, as well as extensive airplay on CHIRP Radio 107.1 FM. Dangerous Jumps features 12 meticulously-produced tracks that are loaded with hooks, double-time beats and rapid-fire raps.
The evening’s performance will feature DJs P.O.S. and Sims on the raps, and Papes and Beak on the beats. Don’t miss this must-see performance at SubT!
Clarence Ewing: The Million Year Trip writesClassic Album Sundays Spins Steely Dan’s “Aja” on Sunday Jan. 28!
Classic Album Sundays is back with a listening party featuring Steely Dan's 1977 masterpiece Aja.
Released at a time when Disco, Punk, and Rap were starting to push progressive rock and Laurel Canyon pop off the music front pages, Walter Becker and Donald Fagen's masterpiece was a throwback of sorts, relying on almost 40 session musicians and rooted in a Jazz-based sophistication that stood up to the growing DIY cultural attitudes. Read Owen Jones' essay about the album here.
This worldwide event is for music lovers to gather in various cities and have a group listening experience of the greatest albums of all time. The Chicago edition of CAS takes place Sunday, January 28th from 5:30pm – 8:30pm at Saturday Audio Exchange, 1021 W Belmont Avenue, Chicago IL, 60647. Tickets are $5 in advance and can be purchased here.
