AKAI SOLO + bobbyy + ANOTHER PLANET

Doors 7 / Music 8

“NYC trailblazer AKAI SOLO has been known for his relentless output since 2018. Notable releases include, but are not limited to, Black Sand with Pink Siifu, Mad Space with fellow Tase Grip (a collective he founded in 2016) member iblss, and True Sky with Navy Blue. The Brooklyn native has also released two projects on Backwoodz Studioz, Body Feeling and Spirit Roaming. With such a refreshing and interesting approach to the artform, it is easy to see why fellow heavy hitters such as Madlib, Alchemist, Earl Sweatshirt, and billy woods champion for him so strongly.

After his second EU tour, first solo US tour, and four incredible albums in the last two years (Verticality///Singularity, Only The Strong Remain, DREAMDROPDRAGON, and the latest, critically acclaimed No Control, No Glory) on his own label, Break All Records, AKAI has displayed a consistency with growth and expanding that has no intention of letting up.”

Los Angeles-based, Seattle-born drummer and producer Bobbyy returns with the announcement of his sophomore album, TACKYY, arriving October 16th via Dynamite Hill Records, founded by Pink Siifu.

Featuring contributions from artists including Salami Rose Joe Louis, Sam Gendel, AKAI SOLO, Demae, Tony Bontana, Telemakus, Miguel Atwood-Ferguson, Qur’an Shaheed, Astronauts, Etc., Niki Randa, and more, TACKYY is a result of a musical ecosystem cultivated through Bobbyy’s years of work with his bands sunking and High Pulp (Anti- Records). Following the success of his debut album Buckets, praised for blending Chicago house influences with experimental beat music, TACKYY marks a significant evolution, positioning Bobbyy as a key voice within Los Angeles’ thriving beat and jazz scenes.

Phiik & Lungs aka Another Planet kick it off.
