Philadelphia DJ, producer, and remixer King Britt will be touching down at Dubspot for a workshop with singer/collaborator Rucyl (roo-SILL) Mills. The two will share insights into their recording process for their debut album Yesterday’s Machine, out on their own SNS imprint in July. The bulk of the record was constructed in a live, improvised, one-take fashion, combining the duo’s intuitional musical sense. The two point to the work of avant-garde jazz revolutionary Sun-Ra as a major source of inspiration, drawing from his value in art’s of-the-moment process. Read more about King Britt’s history, as well as what Rucyl calls, “the Chakakhantroller,” a MIDI controller that she wears on her body, over on the Saturn Never Sleeps website.
