Mike Taylor and Much More Share Time w/“New Designer Drug” at The Blockley June 23

Multi-faceted entertainer Mike Taylor (formerly Tu Phace) will be performing tonight at The Blockley. Under his old stage name, Taylor was signed to Epic/Sony Records for his abilities as a straight-up hip hop emcee, and along with the change in name came a change in musical direction. However, Taylor was always much more than your average emcee. He is also a talented singer, songwriter, and producer. And he can definitely bust a move. You can download his latest release From The Stars HERE for free. Joining him will be Elevator Fight, an eclectic band whose sound is a mix of elements from classic rock, psychedelic, and modern indie pop [but you can check them out for yourself along with our other current Featured Artist(s) Poll nominees by clicking on to the headphones in the box at the top of the column to the right]. The packed “New Designer Drug Tour” lineup also includes DJ PHSH, who recently joined the Illvibe Collective, and Suzi Analogue, who mixes retro soul/jazz vocals with hip hop and electronica tracks to create what is certainly her own unique sound, as well as J*Davey, Kalae All Day, Def Sound, and DJ Bubbles.
