The American Museum of Natural History Launches 'One Step Beyond, 11/11

WHEN: Friday, November 11, 2016, 9 pm-1 am

WHO:

Mixpak

Mixpak is a Brooklyn-based record label, founded in 2009 by producer Dre Skull. Home to some of Jamaica's biggest stars, Mixpak has released full length albums with Vybz Kartel and Popcaan as well as riddim releases featuring Beenie Man, Machel Montano, Tifa, Spice and more.

Bobby Konders

DJ and producer Bobby Konders started his own record label Massive B over 20 years ago. After producing the reggae/hip-hop smash "Mack Daddy" with Salaam Remi and a now classic remix for Supercat's "Ghetto Red Hot," Massive B became a go-to for dancehall and reggae acts in New York and beyond. While the label released records by Burro Banton, Nicodemus, King Kong, Junior Reid, Sizzla, Richie Spice, and more, the crew took up their now longstanding Sunday-night slot on Hot 97, as well as presenting New York's yearly "On Da Reggae Tip," a much-loved float at the West Indian Day Parade, and the weekly dancehall party "Fire Sundays" in Queens.

Murlo

Influenced as much by the sonic narratives of film scores as by U.K. dance music, DJ and producer Murlo works together the discombobulated sounds and mutations of the current clubland with the Afro-Caribbean rhythms that historically underpin London's dance culture.

Dre Skull

Dre Skull became a producer and label owner of Mixpak after collaborating with Jamaican superstar Vybz Kartel on the full-length "Kingston Story" for Mixpak. Since then, he has worked with Popcaan, Pusha T, Beenie Man, Jamie XX, How to Dress Well, Snoop Lion, and more, following the legendary paths of Don Was and Rick Rubin in the school of any-genre-goes.

The Large

The Large was raised in Bristol, U.K., surrounded by the vibes of Massive Attack, Tricky, and St Paul's Carnival. Starting out as resident at the Heatwave's legendary "Hot Wuk" party in London, she now lives in NYC where she acts as the official spirit guide for Mixpak.

Wildlife!

After years of touring his own soundsystem and studying audio engineering, Wildlife!turned his hand to production, making left-field riddims with Jamaican artist Terry Lynn, straight-up club productions, and releasing two full albums under his experimental electronic-music moniker, Young Palace. In 2015, he finished up his Master of Arts degree in contemporary-arts practice, and has since had sound-installation work featured in gallery exhibitions worldwide.
