Soulection affiliate and frequent Sango collaborator SPZRKT, aka Spazzy Rocket, is a 25 year old rapper turned vocalist. In just three years, the San Antonio based singer-songwriter reached a remarkable level of success from a series of popular releases and collaborations.

He recently released a collaborative EP with Sango titled, “Hours Spent Loving You.” The seven track EP was a summation of how relationships are viewed both earthly and heavenly. This project hit home for the people who have deeply supported SPZRKT & Sango. So in return, they felt it was right by giving thanks, and allowing these people to understand their stories in and out.

Friday September 4th will be his first performance in San Francisco. We’ve heard through the grapevine that his live performances are a contagious combination of his upbeat energy and gospel like vocals that will take control of the crowd.

A native of Tokyo, Japan and now resident of Los Angeles, California - starRo, the rising sun whose story permeates much farther than the music he makes, but rather an embodiment of sacrifice, persistence and passion, is now solidified as one of Soulection's wisest, and most experienced music makers. starRo makes soulful electronic music, period. And he makes it with the utmost diligence and craftiness that requires listeners to participate with absolute, undivided attention. Listeners in end, leave the journey mystified and elevated to a sultrier state.
starRo's musical maturity and ability to captivate an audience of world wide music lovers comes second to none, and inspires many of his Soulection label mates in their music making processes. Having toured the United States, Canada and throughout Asia, playing alongside artists like Flume, Chet Faker, Gold Link, Giraffage, starRo pulls his creative inspiration from not only eclectic artists like Stevie Wonder, Ryuichi Sakamoto, the Neptunes, Sly Stone, J Dilla and Bill Evans, but also the visual arts, architecture and nature, his father and all sushi chefs from around the globe.

Remnant of mid 90's R&B, paired with lush chords and atmospheric melodies as his forte, starRo's sound is now ready to be embraced by the larger international, electronic beat scene. After dropping a very successful, and passionate, Soulection White Label release in December 2013, generating over 240,000 plays in the first month, starRo's resonance has left everyone anticipating his forthcoming project in late 2014. 2014 will also see starRo showcasing w/ Soulection at SXSW in Austin, Texas in March, as well as an early April Asia tour through Japan and Korea with label brethren, ESTA and The Whooligan.

Eritrean by way of San Diego beat lover Eden Hagos brings visibility to those future sounds that you can’t quite put your genre finger on.

Eden is poised to bring light to the beat makers in this movement while uncovering and educating folks along the way of all of the genres that exist within these future sounds.

It led to a chance encounter with Low End Theory founder Daddy Kev, who discovered her talent as a DJ.

Today, she is responsible for talent scouting and artist development for one of the hottest music collective/labels, Soulection, making noise around the world with their signature “Sound Of Tomorrow.”
