This Tuesday brings a special treat to our Seattle peoples. Onra,  the Parisian beatsmaster with some of the deepest (digital) crates around, is swinging through town to bless your eardrums with some bass. I hear he soaked that shit in rose water already too. Or something.

As we’ve written in the past, Onra is music to either make babies or start fights to. If that sounds contradictory to you, then you need to take a listen to the many freely available releases out on these webs. Onra is a master of building tension within a moving song. His creations layer melody, rhythm and highly attuned absences of both, creating mini-dramas along each step of a single song’s development. The result is a sound that keeps necks solidly cracking even at the smoothest moments.

It’s going to be quite a night – the Stop Biting crew (including LxNxM family WD4D) are heavyweights unto themselves. The combo? Clearly an 800-lb gorilla that you should pay attention to. It all goes down at the Lo-Fi (429 Eastlake Ave E), be thurr.

Check out the track/video below, and due to poor Soundcloud choices, head over here to listen to a gang more.

I was blessed enough to catch bay area beat bully egadz about a month back, as he hit up Seattle via the always solid STOP BITING night @ Lo-Fi Lounge. Dude mashed through his set on the mpd with surgical dexterity despite being admittedly sloshed, this video gives you at taste of what homie can do.

His latest and last album is called egadz is dead, and at aforementioned show he said it would be the last night he was performing under said moniker, citing a desire to move on to a new project. So treat your ears,  sample and support egadz music here or here.
