Artist description Hailing from the astoundingly talented depths of the Bay Area's independent music scene, Psychokinetics have been moving crowds with their slumpin' beats, positive vibes, and distinct music format since 1995. Delivering hip-hop in its most pure and creative state, this harmonious recipe of two DJs (Denizen and ill Media) and two Emcees (Celsius 7 and Spidey) provide consistant heaterz with all the essential cuts and rhymes you need to satisfy your musical appetite! With musical styles ranging from down tempo reflective tracks, to bass heavy party bangers, to scratch laden instrumentals, to rhymes flipped over jungle beats, Psychokinetics break the mold of what you'd expect from your average underground hip-hop act. With an ability to span several genres of music, while still staying true to the classic roots of hip-hop, this group has legs. They take chances and create what feels right, not what is expected... not what will make the most loot. Keeping pace right along side the two emcees noteworthy lyrics and their energetic stage show, Djs Denizen and ill Media balance the performance with fluid beat juggling, razor sharp scratches and multi-layered production that make for a beaufiful and inspiring listening experience. This balance of lyricism and turntablist chemistry translates wonderfully on stage, and just as well on their recorded ventures; something that is often a rarity in the music world. Unexpectedly, THESE GUYS ARE HYPE ON BOTH MEDIUMS! Word. This is a slice of music and hip-hop culture for the people, the artists, the dancers, the emcees, the DJs, those who love true music, and those who celebrate life. This is music for you. Trust that. Very innovative and captivating, Psychokinetics deliver where others fail. Bringing purity and freshness back into hip-hop and music in general, Psychokinetics’ heart and soul are evident on each track. The energy is there... Get ready to be moved.

Hooked up with Ill Media and started recording in the same year. Met Denizen in '99, and thus the four man roster was born! Still going strong after all this time. It's really just begun.
