The producer’s beat scene has to be one of the more progressive and dynamic movements happening in music since the early 90′s. Since then, the advent of technology has only increased output with everyone now adding a voice to the conversation. It’s difficult to stand out these days, but thankfully there are modern pioneers diversifying the scene. Take L.A.’s leading beat queen and Brainfeeder family member, Jennifer Lee for example.

Adding sophisticated beauty to an otherwise brute and saturated genre can be an arduous task, but as TOKiMONSTA, Lee does it with a grace and style that few can live up to. Elegant beat structures and complex melodics lead TOKiMONSTA to create dreamworlds that coax listeners to escape into the warmth of her late night visions. With a combination of live instrumentation, digital manipulation, and vinyl sampling; TOKiMONSTA thrives as the torchbearer to a more diverse and progressive beat culture.

TOKiMONSTA will be performing at CYP2 on August 27th. Joining her will be The Very Best, Jonwayne, and Weapons of Audio. In the meantime, check out TOKiMONSTA’s new collaboration with Suzi Analogue appropriately titled, Analogue Monsta, out now through Scion A/V.

Tickets are available HERE.
