Artist Spotlight: Euphon

by Kevin on November 22, 2008 · 1 comment

Euphon’s brand of music brings about classic Hip-Hop themes and ideals all with a contemporary flair. Relying less on arrogance and more on conviction, assertiveness and a willingness to showcase vulnerability, Mr. Fantastik’s flamboyant B-Boy delivery only complements Slim’s quiet confidence. The Harlem, New York duo’s “Anti-Music Music” movement is one that states that a corrupted system can only be change from within.

Euphon draws and provides inspiration from their rich blend of Hip-Hop, Jazz, Funk, and Soul influences. Their balanced, no-gimmicks approach garnered the group respect from their peers in New York’s underground Hip-Hop circuit and led to a cult following.

In 2002, Euphon landed a spot on MTV2’s Area 2 Tour with Moby, appearing on the singles
“Superbaby” and “Rock Wid Us” featuring producer/artist DougSimpson. Those triumphs led to the duo being invited to perform at the Zulu Nation’s 30th and 31st Anniversary Celebrations in 2003 and 2004 respectively. Described as a refreshing alternative to the cookie cutter material being released commercially, Euphon’s first official release, Euphonics (EP) was warmly received by critics and the public alike. Euphon’s re-release of the project Euphonics: Redefined as a full LP was a true testament to its fans and supporters, as well as those new to the Anti-Music Music movement.

The group resumed their movement with its full-length project, A Brief History of The Future, which offers its listeners a much deeper look into the minds of the Hip-Hop duo. Featuring all new guest artists, and for the first time, production outside of the Ironhorse Music camp.

Their new release, History: Repeated, is a remix project comprised of selections from A Brief History of The Future remixed by producers DougSimpson and Phil N. DeBlanc. It is available now at Amazon.com. Their music, triumphs, struggles and stories resonate with an understanding of the responsibility bestowed upon them to carry on the legacy of Hip-Hop music. Euphon is Hip-Hop’s alternative.
