2012 Decibel Festival

Constantly re-inventing herself, Erykah Badu has now embraced a technologically-driven musical collective that can only be described as “the sensational reaction created when the synthetic combines with the organic”. Her work with The Cannabinoids marks the next phase of her development both as a composer and performer. Consisting of 9 laptops, 3 turntables, 6 keyboards, 4 drum machines, a Theremin, live projections and over a dozen performers, The Cannabinoids are quite simply the most ambitious performance we’ve ever hosted at The Decibel Festival. Like Parliament-Funkadelic for the digital age, The Cannabinoids have given Erykah Badu a new digital platform on which to transform her classic Neo Soul material into a full audio/visual experience. The Starship Connection is a synthesizer funk/future bass quartet. The are comprised of B. Bravo, Teeko, D-Nasty and Bob-O.
