ROME FORTUNE / THE RANGE
This event is all ages
ROME FORTUNE
"In the most cosmic sense of the word, Rome Fortune is Atlanta's newest star. Green-bearded and crop-topped, 6'5" in cowboy boots, he takes the stage like an eclipse and flips straightforward bars into lunar poetry. But even with such otherworldly swagger, Rome's music connects with fans because of how powerfully (and sometimes painfully) human it really is.
Jerome Raheem Fortune is the true story of this man who fell to earth. Rome's Beautiful Pimp mixtapes ("rap as motivational speaking, generous and all-inclusive" – Pitchfork) and collaborations with everyone from turn-up trailblazers OG Maco and ILoveMakonnen to Four Tet and Toro Y Moi were merely the prelude to JRF's nakedly honest storytelling."
THE RANGE
Potential is the new album from producer James Hinton under his alias of The Range.
Hinton made the computer his primary instrument after falling under the spell of Baltimore club, bringing in his broader sonic influences from early '90s jungle, early '00s grime and mid '00s electronica to a new sonic whole. The software was the thing at home, but what excited the young producer was the network, and where he spiraled was YouTube. Potential uses as its backbone a series of vocal samples that Hinton has found in the forgotten corners of the site, guiding us around the hinterlands of YouTube, introducing us to unknown artists expressing themselves unfettered by the constraints of industry, lost in the infinite potential of an audience unknown.
Potential is a record steeped in histories – of its characters, of its forebears – but is startlingly new and alive: the network may be ones and zeros but the circuitry here runs on blood, still.
