A no holds barred celebration of derivatives and influences. After years of embracing numerous artists one might consider off the beaten path, we felt it was high time to make this project happen. Part tribute, part jacked, plus original raw tracks. And everything spreads out from the core of MagiTek sound: a unique form of electronic hip-hop, still branded as "Dimensional Rhythm".



History Defined

MagiTek is a musical project that has grown over the years into what could be best simply considered an electronica/nerdcore group.

In the early 00s the founding duo of Quartz Relic and Thugmasta J crudely produced a variety of songs, which were mostly focused on geeky subject matters with breakbeat, house, synth rock, and video game influenced music. Their body of work began to take on a series of concepts and inside mythos, which progressed along with the sound of the group. In 2006 their album "Distorting Reality For Better Perception" was completed, with contributions by Shamus Oddish and Mathaeis. This was the cumulative result of MagiTek's roots, still very rough but quite experimental, and ultimately showing a dynamic range and future for the music.

Over the next year they became heavily involved with the steadily rising nerdcore scene, refining the style of the group to include more hip hop elements, as well as live performances. From late 2006 to the present day they have been working on a variety of individual tracks and other collaborations with friends and other artists. Some have appeared on Rhyme Torrents releases, as well as compilations like GM4A/Scrub Club's Here Comes a New Challenger II Turbo.

Since the groups last release, 2009's "Odd Entities", MagiTek has had thousands of online downloads, numerous shows throughout the state of Florida, and contributed songs for use in an iphone music/rhythm game.
