Evolutionista Mixtapes

By Drift Dodgers at March 8, 2012 | 9:25 am | 3 Comments

Evolutionista is the design and music moniker of independent Oakland artist Griffin Crafts. How a DJ like this can be so anonymous with all these clowns running around hot on tour is beyond me. I'd rather listen to him spin than to some career remixer any day. The mixes below contain some of the best music I've posted, and he has 225 followers on his Soundcloud. Let's more...

Emancipator – East Coast Tour

By LadyBinX at March 2, 2012 | 12:09 pm | 0 Comment

According to Webster’s Dictionary, to emancipate means: “to free from restraint, control, or the power of another; to free from bondage.” After his debut in 2009 as an opening act for Bonobo, there has been little doubt why producer Doug Appling, and more recently violinist, Ilya Goldberg, call themselves Emancipator.
