Next up we have some BRAND NEW stuff from "The Biz" who just released their debut album today. Also based in Colorado I believe, they are a live audio/visual group, and their stuff is pretty damn good! I just barely came across this yesterday and have been enjoying most of the tracks thus far. Peep the entire album here, or follow the link to purchase it at a price that you decide on. Pretty dope concept. Check 'em out.

New music from Denver, Co. In the STS9 vein of music The Biz provides a nice blend of electronic, hip hop and soul. Its a really great sound. I recommend that you check it out. Their latest record The Ancient Future is name your price (like Radiohead did with In Rainbows) for download from their website. Couldn't really ask for much more than that.
Really great use of technology on their site. Well done.

If the recent trends continue, Denver may become a hot-spot for electronic music on the national scene. Among the newest class of artists in the genre is The Biz, a trio consisting of Tim Santos, Phil Buck, and Leigh Bernstein. Their debut full-length The Ancient Future hit the internet just last week and is available on the group’s homepage as a “pay-what-you-want” download.
The Biz manages to maintain a certain organic sound throughout the 70+ minute record. From acoustic-drum and horn samples to non-sampled bass grooves, The Ancient Future feels like a sexy soul record turned sideways. “Infinite Light” and “The NEXUS” stand out as two tracks that are as smooth as they are inventive.

Bio
The Biz is an audio visual union formed by musicians , Tim Santos and Phil Buck, and visual artist, Leigh Bernstein. The band came together quickly as P Buck and Studio-T spent months creating jams in Denver, CO. Innovation has been the key element behind The Biz's forays into electronica. This is electronic music with soul, because the group does not forget their roots in music when bringing their talents to a beat machine or a loop station. The sounds of the old school funk and jam bands Espaso and the GO show (previous bands of Tim and Phil) are not forgotten in the soulful instrumentation of P Buck's bass and Studio T's guitar work. Leigh brings original graphic design to the stage and creates live improvised visual experiences fresh for each performance. The ultimate trifecta is created when the live video & all over visual element is added to mix.
