In the furthest corner of the universe is a galaxy. In this galaxy there is a solar system. In this solar system there is a planet. Circling this planet are three moons. On the smallest of these moons lives a space brother; Ras G.

Ras G is a name that continues to pop up all over the universe and though I have listened to a few of his productions, I’ll shamefully admit that I have never delved in to the man’s musical history. What a massive mistake.

Oh Ras!” your music is awesome! Ras G’s latest album, Down 2 Earth, offers the listener a true journey through time and sound. All preconceptions of genre, style, structure; everything that you would usually consider to make a good piece of music has well and truly been left at the door. This man is a true genius in regards to forward thinking beat and bass music.

 Down 2 Earth is a combination of bass and noise, soaked in acid and sprinkled with space dust. Though songs are individually titled, can be bought individually and can even be listened to individually, I do not recommend it. I believe to get the true experience of Down 2 Earth, which is in essence a beat tape, the listener needs to turn off the lights, sit in their comfy chair, turn the speakers up and enjoy the journey from start to end, and then do it all again because it’s that good!

 I am a big fan of LA beat sound, however, I often feel that a lot of productions in this area sound a bit half assed, but not in this case. This album is wholly successful in it’s content and I’d recommend it to anybody who enjoys the avant garde sound.
