"Le Sony'r Ra (1914-1993), known better under the name Sun Ra (born Herman Poole Blount), was an prolific American jazz composer, synthesizer and piano player, poet and bandleader that was known for his avant-garde and experimental music. During his career, he put an emphasis on “cosmic” philosophy and theatrical performances, in which is most prominent in his group, the Sun Ra Arkestra. Known for his eclectic and ever-changing jazz style, he would range from sub-styles of ragtime and bebop to fusion and free jazz. Though he had limited mainstream success, he continued to be a frequent recording artist and live performer throughout life. He was as innovative and influential as he was controversial, and his discography of over 1000 tracks continues to speak for itself. Among his distinctions are his pioneering work in free and modal jazz and usage of synthesizers and electronic keyboards. SPACE IS THE PLACE!

Ras G became known for his extensive crate-digging and ability to conjure cosmic atmospheres with his beats, typically with an outer space theme. After coming to prominence in the late-2000s, Ras G maintained a constant artistic pace, often releasing multiple albums per year. ASP FOREVER!
