MH-247 Thavius Beck - Thru Thavius Beck returns with his signature blend of mind bending experimental hip-hop and dark synth-driven industrial electronics on his new release Thru. Featuring thirteen tracks of densely layered samples, pulsating synths, and dizzying delay plastered over frantic drum tracks, the album builds on the sound established in his breakout release, Decomposition. In addition to providing vocals on two tracks himself, Thavius collaborates with touring partner and hip-hop's poet laureate, Saul Williams, folk-songstress Mia Doi Todd, Los Angeles staple 2Mex, and up-and-coming MC Nocando on individual tracks. Thru will cement Thavius Beck's position among electronic music production's boldest voices.
