KYUR8_09 Guest Editors: King Britt & Rucyl

In the spirit of collaboration and futuristic energy, KYUR8 brings to you the dynamic duo and super music producers King Britt and Rucyl — also known as Saturn Never Sleeps.

King Britt and Rucyl collaborated in 2009 for two improvisational performances specifically dedicated to the music and sound of fellow Philadelphian Sun-Ra. Carrying on in the tradition of Sun Ra’s vision of process as art, they decided to continue their project, which led to a year of festival touring and the release of their debut album in July 2011 Yesterday’s Machine. Their create-in-the-moment vibe with inspirational lyrics and vocals creates a genre-pushing, electronic soul rooted sound that resonates with fans of artists like Massive Attack, Little Dragon, Sun Ra and Philip Glass.

Recently opening for TV on the Radio and Sun Ra Arkestra, music collectors and young audiences alike are taking notice of their unique approach to songs. Here they share some of their inspirations, visuals and chi. Enjoy.
