Digging deep into the root of turntable culture, El Dusty has created a hip hop masterpiece inspired by Chicano sci-fi films and aptly named Sombrero Galaxy.
Along with the release of the EP comes a stunning comic book and full interactive gallery presentation that will round out the visuals for the record’s rollout.
El Dusty comments:
We wanted to create a concept hip hop album and I wanted to do it our style, so it naturally became a Chicano based, sci-fi themed, sample based hip hop album… It still has a cumbia flavor if u listen close enuff!
With Sombrero Galaxy, El Dusty weaves samples on top of interludes to reveal a sci-fi story that resonates like an MF Doom, Deltron 3030, or a DJ Shadow production. With the release, El Dusty has created his sonic opus from over 200 samples laced with deep sci-fi cuts, hip hop production style, and Dusty’s signature, hard hitting drums in collaboration with hip hop head and co-producer William Casio (of The Soul Monsters production team). Working with, and shining light on, the emerging hip hop scene straight from the South Coast of Texas featured artists including Lvrboy Meta, Quintan Arispe, Chris56, Ambrose Brown, Vino La Mano, Magus, Faboyshaun, and Mexstep.
