Afrofuturism Foundation!
www.myspace.com/afrofuturismfoundation
Afrofuturism... It's a word that describes an attitude and a way of living.
Dj Instantaneous has concocted a musical production that matches his personality -- willful, whimsical, and encompassing in almost an offhand way all the main strands of the black musical experience.
Instantaneous exudes charisma and a sly wisdom. A lean man to whom the years have been kind, his look is benevolent and ardent at once. He is known to stroll into the audience as he plays/performs, demand that people dance, and flirt with the ladies.
Outside the box, in every sense of phrase, Afrofuturism has little use for music industry categories and conventions. ''I produce cultural music," (Dj) Instantaneous states. ''American music, World music, blues, jazz, African - I continually mix everything together." The foundation of that hodge-podge is noticeably urban and Afrocentric... and arguably rooted in Hip Hop.
This is a cerebral music. Intelligent some may say.
"I wanted to do music, with more cultural roots." (Dj) Instantaneous remarks when asked about the concept behind Afrofuturism. "Thats the ideal behind the CD's (Ep) name; Past, Present & Culture."
The topic of roots comes up all the time with Instantaneous. ''The African connection is a conscious theme," ''I start with Drums," he says, ''rhythms first, that will satisfy old and young audiences, Black or otherwise..." "The beat is the first sound we all hear; inside our Mothers womb. We develop and grow to that rhythm, that beat... we're hooked, addicted to it."
