Music and dance have always brought people together—tribes used it to tell stories, connect, and tap into something bigger then themselves. Now it’s the same energy with old traditions merging with new modern sounds.  Movement, music, meaning—it’s all vibration

Let's feel.

EARTHTONE | SEDIMENTARY SOUND
📩 Bookings/MGMT: Build@sedimentarysound.com

A unique live act with an emphasis on grime, hip-hop, dubstep, and r&b, EARTHTONE bridges the gap between the roots of the US hip-hop movement and the authenticity found in the UK grime scene. Their well-curated event series, dynamic live act, and distinct sound, has enabled them to play in a variety of circuits, carving their own path in music.

Pioneering the sound in New York, Co-Founders, Aions and Gi Major, come together on stage as a DJ/MC duo. Aions sets the tone behind the decks with a well-calculated selection, while Gi controls the microphone with her versatile flow. Together, EARTHTONE provides a seamless mixture of bass heavy rhythms and conscious lyricism, known to move a dancefloor. The pair is also known for their collaborations with saxophonists, vocalists, and even drumlines, exemplifying their intuitive ability to improvise on stage and provide audiences with a forward-thinking live performance.

Staying true to their ideology "build bridges, not walls," these multifaceted artists have been showcased internationally, while providing a home for their UK counterparts stateside. As of January 2020, they have been featured on Londons premiere radio stations, Rinse FM, Kiss FM, Flex FM, and Pyro, as well as Europe’s largest bass music and soundsystem culture festival, Outlook. Back home in NYC, their monthly event series, ON THE LOW, is a testament to the EARTHTONE essence; featuring some of the best DJ’s and artists, both locally and globally.

One Love. One Sound. Sedimentary.

As a self-proclaimed cross-genre MC with a UK grime influence, Gi Major is not one to be confined by industry labels. Dynamic in style, Gi’s work is palatable to both mainstream hip-hop circuits and the rapidly growing underground grime & bass scene. 

Kicking off 2020 with her third international appearance, Gi has truly laid her footprint as a forward-thinking MC with a global impact. She has been featured on some of London’s premier radio stations (Kiss FM, Rinse FM, Flex FM, Westside, and Pyro Radio) as well as Europe’s largest bass music and soundsystem culture festival, Outlook. Her ability to execute on stage has garnered her the support of bass and grime pioneers, EL-B, Flowdan, Rudekid, Marcus Nasty, as well as Boy Better Know’s, JME and Jammer. 

Gi’s 2019 “Open Up” EP caught the eyes and ears of famed music publication, EARMILK, who described the project as one that “Pushes the Envelope.” Her music videos, “Gameplan” and “Anyway” were also premiered by popular hip-hop music network, The Cypher Effect, gaining backing from hip-hop and grime audiences worldwide. Gi’s most recent release, the “ICY” EP came equipped with three music videos, one of which was shot in the UK, featuring South London MC, Jon E Clayface.  Building bridges from NYC to London, Gi is a driving force in her local community and beyond.
