MYKKI BLANCO Mykki Blanco Presents C-Ore CD

opakowanie: digipack

Dogfood Music Group is the new label founded by musician, performance artist, activist and journalist Mykki Blanco: a new imprint of !K7 that was first born out of live performances and sets out to give voices to the underground artists that inspire their communities, contribute to and share Mykki’s artistic vision, and transcend conventional cultural boundaries / constructs.

The first DMG release is C-ORE, a new compilation project that combines three members from Blanco’s creative community: Yves Tumor, Psychoegyptian and Violence. These multidisciplinary artists, along with Blanco himself, combine to deliver a cohesive album and statement of purpose for Dogfood Music group.

At its C-ORE, the project is living, breathing, moving, multiplying and spreading wildly in all directions. Incorporating rap, punk, noise, industrial, grime, and many other elements, the compilation evokes a cathartic reaction from the listener, illuminating the diverse influences, imaginations, and hunger that drive the artists.

Because the live element is so integral to the DMG ethos, all the artists involved set to create immersive and challenging live works that go beyond the typical experience of listening to music digitally or attending a conventional concert. The goal is to present releases that also have the potential to function as an easily transmutable “happening.” As a performance artist, Mykki intentionally focuses on fellow artists whose musical practice is closely intertwined with their live show, and Dogfood Music Group seeks to create site-specific installations to perform in, with purposefully nonlinear narratives that actively engage the listener and audience. C-ORE is a concept meant to be both to be heard & seen, and the full Dogfood Music Group will begin touring this fall.

Blanco explains his vision in his own words:
“We are a group of friends who have created a release that represents a slice of what we’re into, our culture and what we want to show the world. People all over the world are only fed this singular image of “African American Music” and we want to disrupt that. We all come from backgrounds outside of the black American norm, and the world deserves to see our culture as much as anything else.”
