Upcoming Shows
The shows promise to be a real spectacle for the senses with stunning visuals - featuring a lighting set up from the same team who recently collaborated with Alabama Shakes on their latest tour, with the intention of elevating the show into a rock concert experience - and a collective of musicians gathering to perform their wide range of influences from classical to hip-hop and electronic to jazz.
Three years after the release of his last studio album, Emancipator is gearing up to release his new album Seven Seas on September 25th, via his own label, Loci Records. The title track has already been garnering critical acclaim, with Noisey stating that "Emancipator stands at the front lines of some of the best in cinematic, hip-hop-influenced soundscaping since Massive Attack released Blue Lines in 1991": https://soundcloud.com/emancipator/seven-seas-feat-madelyn-grant-1
Now performing with a live band known as the Emancipator Ensemble, which features close friend, label mate and classically trained violinist Ilya Goldberg (a.k.a. Lapa), Emancipator is pushing the boundaries of what it means to be an electronic musician with his organic approach to live performances. He will celebrate the release of Seven Seas with a nation-wide tour with support from French producer Wax Tailor, Yppah, Blockhead and Manatee Commune.
