Digable Planets, Riders Against the Storm, Adrian Quesada (DJ set) [garage]

By now you probably know that music has always had a profound slot of importance in my life. I can mark time by what songs impacted me when. What I was doing. Who I was as a human. So, 1992. Me, a child of single digits absorbing sound like a tuning fork. I hear horns and a thrumming bass note. A dude with a voice that sounded like he just woke up chanting, “I’m cool like that. I’m cool like that.” Ladies and gentlemen, my introduction to hip-hop. The group? Digable Planets. This core memory alights the Empire Control Room stage, preceded by Austin legends and future Hall of Famers Riders Against the Storm. – Cy White
