Connie Hawkins

Musical styles brewed in the west side Twin City of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Conrad Robison collides synth-hop, crates of 1980's hits, and a unique background in what has become some form of cracked out hip hop. With an abundant stash of near useless "WORLD" section vinyl, top of the line Casios, and a blurred vision has lead to a hypnotic hyped-up waveform for an ever-evolving set of ears. Joining with long time friend, founding member, and musical mastermind; Tim Heitman, adds a 4th dimension at live sets. Timothy's DnB mastery paired with respect for all things classic hip hop allows for this tickling duo to branch out in any direction. As a healthy scatterbrain, Connie Hawkins finds it hard to keep his hands out of his friends business. Pairing up with fellow mpls raised producer, Larva Ink, has led to a blend of melodic poly-synth work and chopped up beat machining...ala, HI_DEF. Also pairing up with true next level jazz-fusion composer, synth technician, and real dubstepper, Glucose combines IDSM with CaPLEM's tricked out drum work and sampling to form DEGRO. Via his Myspace page.
Here a couple tracks from his soundcloud page. I highly recommend checking him, and whoever he is playing with, out next time he is in your area.
