THUR 1 MAY
The RZA
as Bobby Digital
(Wu-Tang Clan)


Flying Lotus – Live (Warp)
Rustie

Headlining the Futuresonic 2008 Music Strand is legendary hip-hop producer, and de facto leader of The Wu-Tang Clan, The RZA as Bobby Digital. Through a genre-defining career, The RZA has become a near mystical figure and true global superstar. Futuresonic’s hip-hop showcase also features electro-hop producer Flying Lotus. Grandson of Alice Coltrane, he personifies that groundbreaking sprit that changed the face of Jazz and reinvents it for 2008. A true musical maverick, his left-field take on hip-hop is set to blow the roof off Futuresonic. The evening is perfectly rounded off by Glasgow’s prodigal son Rustie -THE sound of that city’s current underground renaissance. A searingly explosive and unmissable night to launch the festival.
