Here to debut their first project “1-800-MIXTAPE,” ST*R67 provides a listening experience that travels between worlds. On one line lays a subdued and relaxing soundscape characterized by ethereal melodies and soft tones, and on the other, a drastic shift filled exclusively with searing rhythms, heavy bass, and hype drum beats. Cruising in smooth with tracks like “Nebulous” and “a good mood revisited,” the listener drifts off, going into ST*R67’s dreamland before being startled awake with intense tracks like “Pinkity Drinkity” and “Lose It.” A collection of pop/alternative hip-hop tracks, “1-800-MIXTAPE” offers a rich combination of sound that illustrates the variance in background of the 15 members and how they choose to harmonize in spite of it.

Mixed and produced by Justin Ortega, Jeff Dutter and Jack Kehoe, and mastered exclusively by Justin Ortega, “1-800-MIXTAPE” combines themes of distrust, anxiety and uncertainty with confidence, self-discovery, and love. ST*R67 is phoning in. Will you answer the call?

Bonita Applebum Remix by Midwest Group I.V (Truth & A.D the Great)

Bonita Applebum (2011)

Fresh Beats from Snoop to Euripides, by UVA graduate student Abigail Bradford, is an experiment in telling stories about the past by highlighting similarities between the ancient and modern worlds.  The ancient Greeks were not static, faceless entities but rather thinking and feeling people with their own individual tastes, beliefs, and motivations.  This piece aids in breathing life back into these long-gone people and in showing just how surprisingly consistent humans are over thousands of years.

Produced with support from the Religion, Race & Democracy Lab at the University of Virginia.
