5. DATSIK @ OGDEN THEATRE | THURSDAY, 8/30
The merging of hardcore hip-hop with heavy bass lines and melodic keyboards was an inevitable one, but you would never have guessed that it would have been birthed in Canada. Datsik, known in his hometown of British Columbia as Troy Beetles, fuses the heaviest elements of rap and dubstep to create a unique sound that translates into the equivalent of standing in the middle of an epic man verses machine battlefield. With heavy distortion and intergalactic samples, Datsik delivers a show similar to Excision, a fellow Canadian who helped boost his status by collaborating on various tracks. Drawing on legendary rap influences such as Wu-Tang Clan, as well as injecting a rock flavor from the likes of Korn, Datsik is making good on the promise held by his first studio release, issued this past April on Steve Aoki's Dim Mak Records imprint.
