Now with the new moniker for his solo work, Factor and the Chandeliers, he builds upon his already vast repertoire and creates his first sample-free fully instrumental EP. Working with session musicians, including long time collaborators bassist Enver Hampton and Canadian Pop Sensation Gregory Pepper – as well as natural field recordings – he experiments with a wide array of genres within just eight cohesive tracks. By taking this new step, creating more organically and collaborating with a variety of talented musicians, Factor hopes to progress his sound and his abilities as a producer.

It’s a far cry from a traditional Hip Hop record, or an instrumental Hip Hop record for that matter. Exploring facets of 80′s era R&B, Upbeat dance and Shoegaze, it elicits a range of emotions, all enveloped with a solid head-nodding groove. Although Factor’s distinct dusty breaks are still the driving force, the wide variety of original source material enables Factor to play the line between late night dance party and chill-out session.

Kay The Aquanaut – Waterloo

Saskatoon, SK, Canada is quickly becoming a hub for independent hip hop in the great white north. Through his consistently strong output, collaborations with producer Factor and energetic live performances, Kay The Aquanaut has become one of Canada’s hip hop acts to watch. On his debut Circle Into Square release “Waterloo” Kay lays down anthemic political raps with so much heart that the politics almost feel secondary to raw emotion. Longtime collaborator Factor and upcoming French beat maker Zoen provide hard hitting yet melodic backdrops for Kay’s powerful critiques of modern society. Guest vocalists from Kay’s Sideroad family such as Def3, Cam The Wizzard, and Nolto as well as Fake Four’s Sole and Ceschi join in seamlessly. Waterloo is undoubtedly a new musical peak for this exciting voice in Canadian hip hop.

Canadian producer Factor has been crafting top notch hip hop beats over the last 10 years for a who’s who list of independent hip hop artists including Awol One, Myka 9, Moka Only, Busdriver, Pigeon John, Sole, Aesop Rock – even Xzibit. On his latest solo album, Lawson Graham, Factor puts together a musical ode to his grandfather (who graces the cover) with some of the most melodic and exposed songs of his career. While this album does not escape Factor’s signature crackling, heavy drums and melodic psychedelic samples, Lawson Graham delves even further into an indie pop and folk realm.

Lawson Graham is Factor’s official followup to 2008′s Chandelier – a record that received praise for its beautifully constructed melodic psychedelic hip hop beats and its impressive cast of accompanying emcees. His latest record on Fake Four is an incredibly well executed indie pop and folk driven hip hop release featuring vocal performances from many Fake Four label mates including Gregory Pepper, Sole, Radical Face, Myka 9, Moka Only, Cars & Trains, Ceschi along with Pigeon John, Josh Martinez, 2Mex and many others!
