In the past future of today, \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.ninjatune.net\/artist\/ras-g\"\u003eRas G\u003c\/a\u003e explores space and time through his ancient\/futuristic music. Dusty, ethereal and bugged out, the Crate Creator's beats bring the past to the future. \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.ninjatune.net\/release\/back-on-the-planet\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eBack On The Planet\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, _G's first \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.brainfeedersite.net\"\u003eBrainfeeder\u003c\/a\u003e release in years, finds the blunted master of the beat guiding his \u003cstrong\u003eAfrikan Space Program\u003c\/strong\u003e further out than ever. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eSince his arrival on the planet, \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.ninjatune.net\/artist\/ras-g\"\u003eRas G\u003c\/a\u003e has called Los Angeles his base. Growing in South Central, _G was tapping into his innate knowledge while having the earthly experience of living in the \"ghetto.\" Gravitating towards the turntables early, _G spent formative years DJing spots like \u003cstrong\u003eProject Blowed\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eFive On The Black Hand Side\u003c\/strong\u003e in Leimert Park until his cousin \u003cstrong\u003eWolverine\u003c\/strong\u003e introduced him to the \u003cstrong\u003eSP-1200\u003c\/strong\u003e and thoughts of production became realities. Equally informed by the looped-up dust of classic boom-bap and the avant-garde esotericism of free jazz, _G began paving his own path in the beats. He cut his teeth in the early days of \u003cstrong\u003eLow End Theory\u003c\/strong\u003e and in precursor nights like\u003cstrong\u003e JuJu \u003c\/strong\u003eand \u003cstrong\u003eSketchbook\u003c\/strong\u003e. Day long hangouts at record spots like \u003cstrong\u003eAaron\u003c\/strong\u003e's (RIP) and \u003cstrong\u003ePoo Bah\u003c\/strong\u003e's laid the foundation for projects, live experimentations and new experiences. A key pillar in the Los Angeles community, _G is the power-forward of the \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.brainfeedersite.net\/\"\u003eBrainfeeder\u003c\/a\u003e crew, down since day one. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAfter amassing a sizable discography of 7\"s, EPs and digital releases on a host of platforms, \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.ninjatune.net\/artist\/ras-g\"\u003eRas G\u003c\/a\u003e \u0026amp; \u003cstrong\u003eThe Alkebulan Space Program\u003c\/strong\u003e are \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.ninjatune.net\/release\/back-on-the-planet\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eBack On The Planet\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e for their most complete demonstration to date. The countless nights at \u003cstrong\u003eSpaceBase\u003c\/strong\u003e behind the MPC and SP-303 have seen _G come fully into his own. On this project past experiments in chest-rattling bass, terse loops and bugged-out field noise come full circle. Ancient Afrikan poly-drum rhythms meet outer-synth splashes of white noise and intuitive experimentation meld with deep sub-harmonics for an otherworldly experience. \"\u003cstrong\u003eAsteroid Storm\u003c\/strong\u003e\" captures the pulsating energy of \u003cstrong\u003eThe ASP\u003c\/strong\u003e's live demonstrations while \"\u003cstrong\u003eNatural Melanin Being...\u003c\/strong\u003e\" finds _G's \u003cstrong\u003eUncle Ra\u003c\/strong\u003e sharing a few words of wisdom that go very well with the therapeutic tones of the meditative \"\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/brainfeeder\/ras-g-all-is-well\"\u003eAll Is Well...\u003c\/a\u003e\". \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.ninjatune.net\/release\/back-on-the-planet\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eBack On The Planet\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e is \u003cstrong\u003eThe ASP\u003c\/strong\u003e at it's most confident, shedding all barriers for an open and honest manifestation.
