Here’s info: Thursday, Jan 8 Popscene + Rickshaw Stop co-present RJD2 with Starfari 8 pm doors $25 adv / $28 doors all ages RJD2: With the same care he combines sound sources into songs, RJD2 has stitched together an impressive career out of many projects: instrumental albums, international tours, credits for Mos Def, MF DOOM, Phonte, producing the theme for Mad Men, and beyond. The Columbus, OH producer titled his new album Visions Out of Limelight in honor of his comfortable place in the underground and his "self-imposed exile" at work on the tracks. For his latest instrumental LP, the producer found inspiration in sources that can be taken for granted by less-discerning listeners. Thanks to time at home with his son, RJD2 was completely immersed in the TV theme songs of the '70s, '80s, and '90s. "I realized how incredibly composed and skillfully complex many of them were. These songs contained a few core tenets: a great groove, a great chord change, a strong melody, and a concise time frame," he says. "It made me realize how hard it is to make instrumental music with a melody that's as memorable as a lead vocal." Starfari: https://www.instagram.com/starfarimusic/
