DOWNLOAD THE NEW EP - ODD ENTITIES!
Odd Entities brings forth 6 new and 3 previously released (but now updated) tracks. MagiTek maintains its roots, but develops and fuses new styles into the mix. This transition came from more of a hip hop influence, as well as performing live and becoming a 4 person group. This EP contains a variety of sounds, from what one could call "breakbeat industrial", to "crunky", to something just....strange. Overall, we feel it's a nice step forward, with much more to come.
MagiTek is a musical project that has grown over the years into what could be best simply considered an electronica/nerdcore group.
In the early 00's the founding duo of Quartz Relic and Thugmasta J crudely produced a variety of songs, which were mostly focused on geeky subject matters with breakbeat, house, synth rock, and video game influenced music. Their body of work began to take on a series of concepts and inside mythos, which progressed along with the sound of the group. In 2006 their album "Distorting Reality For Better Perception" , was completed, with contributions by Shamus Oddish and Mathaeis. This was the cumulative result of MagiTek's roots, still very rough but quite experimental, ultimately showing a dynamic range and future for the music.
Over the next year they became heavily involved with the steadily rising nerdcore scene, refining the style of the group to include more hip hop elements, as well as live performances. From 2007 to the present day they have been working on a variety of individual tracks and other collaborations with friends and other artists. Some have appeared on Rhyme Torrents releases, as well as compilations like GM4A/Scrub Club's Here Comes a New Challenger II Turbo .
