such a breath of rhythm styles: N.S.O.K.
Employing a range of common instruments, and an impressive collection of drum machines, New System of Knowledge makes head-noddic soundscapes with aggressively addictive groove.Collaborating with some of the biggest movers in both the Los Angeles and Chicago underground hip-hop scenes, Nsok is poised to break the glass ceiling of electronic music with the emotionally layered and aesthetically refined sounds of urban culture.
New Systems of Knowledge, or better know by the acronym Nsok, was conceived in 2004, in the city of Chicago by Kyle Kyte a.k.a. Dierubix, and Ricky Ropesack of the down-tempo sensation; Meatnumber 5.
When Kyte brought the Anodyne Electric Company L.L.C. artist collective to Los Angeles he took the name Nsok with him, and has since delivered a debut extended play with Anodyne Electric.
The "Echo Park EP" tells the story of love and war, set in the scenic hills of the famous L.A. neighborhood where it was written and recorded.
With such a breath of rhythm styles the music of New Systems of Knowledge is best exemplified on the 5Signs album "Left Handed Acquisitions."
The song "Music Machine," featuring Chicago’s Kid Static, is typical of Nsok's palette of heavy, cinematic down-tempo, and kaleidoscoping drums.
