Masonik
Visit CREMASTER FANATIC to Download Masonik's - 4th Degree Cremaster Dub.
All Masonik songs are original compositions & arrangements.
Masonik is a Vj, turntable & laptop project exploring Dub. The live performances feature turntables, custom cut vinyl, digital effects, beats & video projections. Masonik offer a rich immersive soundscape, synchronised with live video image & textures.
Masonik operates as a Temple or Lodge that records guest musicians to add to the sample base of the Masonik sound.
The two live players offer a very quick set up - they are equally at home in a variety of venues - from pubs & clubs to galleries & festivals.
Masonik’s live Dub specifically draws from rare sources including spoken word, world music and film. Their track, 4th Degree Cremaster Dub, which samples New York artist Matthew Barney, was recently featured on www.cremasterfanatic.com Musical references range from Arabic, Jewish, Greek, Indian and Pakistani, fused with jazz, blues & hip-hop. These sounds combined with smooth dub beats give Masonik a unique musical palette.
