This is ART features the live musical performance of Art Webb, a skilled bassist and multi-genre electronic producer hailing from Nashville, TN. ART unleashes raw musical creativity in the form of improvised deep sub-bass lines, broken break-beats, and epic synth melodies over an array of self-recorded samples and stereophonic soundscapes. The result is a distinctively rich sound, complete with melodic tones and organic structures while paying direct homage to the true forms of BASS music. Art's musical legacy began at the young age of 14, purchasing a 4-track tape recorder and bass guitar to express his new-found ideas after being exposed to Jimi Hendrix's album, "Electric Ladyland". After co-writing two successful songs with female vocalist, LollieVox, Art sold his publishing shares and hand-crafted a computer for music production and recording. He released his first original mixtape CD in 2004, entitled, "Fetal Myth of Psyche". In 2008, Art graduated college for Music Production and immediately began touring under the alias, This is ART.
Art's unique interpretation of electronic music has developed grass-roots credibility within two short years, sharing the stage as direct support to Pretty Lights with Adam Deitch in 2010, touring alongside Big Gigantic & Two Fresh, opening for electronic artists Shpongle, Bonobo, Blockhead, EOTO, Infected Mushroom, and Bluetech, collaborating on-stage with artists from groups such as Emancipator, Bass Science, The Malah, Kidsmeal, Truly Grimy, & Colby Buckler of Two Fresh, as well as gaining noteworthy performances at Camp Bisco 9, Pretty Lights Illumination Festival, DexFest 2009 & 2010, Boombutywah Music Festival, and STS9's Official After Party in 2008 with Pnuma Live PA, Eliot Lipp, and Two Fresh. Art owes credit to such musical innovators as Jimi Hendrix, Herbie Hancock and Kurt Cobain, all the way up to Amon Tobin, sub-ID and STS9 for inspiring him to continually push the boundaries of genres in every fashion: drum & bass, hip-hop, grunge, even jazz and dubstep are tools used to breath new life into the forgotten music of the past. There's an undeniable feeling of satisfaction to hear and perceive the kind of experience This is ART creates on stage when a musician attempts to express the inexpressible.

Kidsmeal's musical approach, utilizes Turntabilism to deliver his own brand of electronic Hip-Hop fusion. The raw power of his live execution lies in maintaining a high level of technical skill, while still keeping the crowd energized and dancing. Kidsmeal's repertoire consists of eclectic styles that range from experimental hip-hop and breaks to glitch-hop and dubstep. Seamlessly blending original tracks, live remixes, and precise Turntablism, Kidsmeal has become a household name across the Southeast and beyond. He has performed alongside a diverse range of artists including GZA, Z-Trip, Bassnectar, Pretty Lights, Rusko, Excision, Ott, Gift of Gab, The Glitch Mob, Ana Sia, Lotus, and EOTO. Kidsmeal's dynamic skills on the turntables have been reflected in spontaneous "sit-ins" with acts such as Two Fresh, This is ART, and Mindelixir. Recently, Shacklock has worked on Beatstation, a plugin-based recording platform designed by Swedish software company ToonTrack. Kidsmeal recorded cuts and scratches for the program's sample library that will be used by beat makers and producers across the globe.
Kidsmeal's instant classic, "Secret Recipe" is now available for free download along with KDSML & SAM's debut EP release titled, "Shack Attack".
Consistently inspiring receptive audiences, Headstash delivers tight, textured polyrhythmic improvisations with style-transcending, sonic landscapes quantified to the uptempo sounds of progressive acidic house, trance, and drum-n-bass, while also providing a balance of dubby, outer-galactic, deepspace, oceanic-chill. On stage, Headstash blends and balances their catalog, effortlessly segueing from motive to theme, promoting a sense of parody, irony, and playfulness while celebrating the joys of life with their brain-bending variations. The eclectic sound refuses to be pinned down by rigid genre boundaries, however, and favors electicism - the unified mixing of brainstorms and free forms. If you think that Headstash may be messing with your mind, you're most likely correct...
