Intelligent Pushing har som de eneste i musikkollektivet har udgivet et helt album, (r)Evolution – der måske er det bedste danske rap album i over et halvt årti. De har et stærkt lydbillede, hvor kontroversielle holdninger har en central plads. Rapperen Michael Mental står for lyrikken, hvor vi kommer ud i mørke hjørner af samfundet, får politiske opråb og personlige tanker om tilværelsen. Der er stor lyrisk kvalitet i teksterne, hvor der leges med sproget på en enorm inspirerende måde.

Det musikalske udtryk, Intelligent Pushing har skabt, er et kapitel for sig selv. Manden bag de lækre beats er Dynamic H, der henter inspiration fra 50’er jazz, beskidt industrial og rå elektro-rock. Det eksperimentende udtryk bliver bygget op af melankolske klaverstykker, store hornarrangementer, noise fragmenter og lækkert synth. De originale produktioner bliver bragt til live på scenen, hvor gruppen bliver bakket op af et liveband. Numrene får en langt mere rocket lyd ved live, der bestemt også klæder dem. Intelligent Pushing har gjort meget ud af deres sceneshow, hvor de til at starte med får hjælp af Vira-forsanger Jarlhelt, og under hele koncerten har de to letpåklædte dansere med på scenen. Koncerten slutter med tekniske problemer, men det er intet problem for Michael Mental, der starter det sidste nummer a cappella – hvorefter livebandet kommer med.

Bio
Intelligent Pushing has, since the beginning in 2006, bevæget sig i mange forskellige genrer og kulturlag.
The group (DynamicH & Michael Mental) debuted in 2008 with the jazz'ish "Tribute EP", that paid tribute to some of the greatest artist of the 20th century.
The EP made a huge impact on the danish underground, and gave the group a small breakthrough, with appearences on Danish DeeJay Awards '08 and Nordic HipHop Festival.
Intelligent Pushing followed up the succes with the debut album '(r)Evolution' (2009).
The more agressive, electronic and bass-heavy sound on the album, split the fans (as according to the plan!) and introduced the group to the danish underground metal scene.
The following tour brought together people from all subcultures, in denmark. Metalheads, dubstep-fans and jazz musicians all showed up to see what the band was all about live.
It's always been in the group's interest to surprise the listener.
To give them something they didn't know they craved.
This was underlined by the single 'Pussy Har Power' (2011): a bassheavy jazz/dubstep/industrial song, that was downloaded more than 500 times, 24 hours after the release.
The group is currently working on a new concept-album: 'Starten På Slutningen' - a 3D/Binaural Stereo album, made with help from NASA, and the 'Danish Royal Academy of Music'.
'Starten På Slutningen' will be released in Octobre 2011, by the independent company 'EVERYDAY' (Scarred By Beauty, Intelligent Pushing, MANKY and many more.)
