Meat Beat Manifesto will be playing San Francisco’s _Mezzanine _(presented by _Bodyshock _and _120 Minutes_) on **June 8 **with **MC 900 Ft. Jesus, **as well as September dates in New York City, Miami, Denver and Chicago. Tour dates are: * **June 8: Mezzanine – San Francisco, CA (w/ special guest MC 900 Ft. Jesus) * **Sept 14: Cold Waves VII (Irving Plaza) – NYC, NY** * **Sept 15: The Ground – Miami, FL** * **Sept 21: The Oriental Theater – Denver, CO** * **Sept 22: Cold Waves VII (Metro) – Chicago, IL** Those familiar with MBM’s mind-blowing live performances are fully aware that the visual component combines a sonic electronic assault with their stunning and often political video mash-ups. The visual “battles” waged between mastermind **Jack Dangers** and MBM partner-in-crime **Ben Stokes** will undoubtedly be uproariously provocative and incredibly timely with video samples culled from news reports and found footage. Often using politics and cultural events as a starting point, MBM mastermind **Jack Dangers **connects the current climate to the creative direction of _Impossible Star._ “I suppose it would be similar to an MC Escher optical illusion which spirals around and around and never seems to end, which can be used as a metaphor of many current events and other pertinent things right now,” he says. Minimal, textural and cinematic in scope, _Impossible Star _follows the music innovator deeper into more experimental territory. From the thick and discordant soundscape of **“One”** to the cut-and-paste pastiche of “**Bass Playa**” to the downtempo of “**T.M.I.**”, _Impossible Star _is a layered exploration of sounds and rhythms. “MBM has always gone in many different directions,” Jack explains. “‘**We Are Surrounded’** and **‘T.M.I.’ **represent the paranoid xenophobic ‘so-called’ fake news cycle we are living in. But seriously at this point, I really wouldn’t know what to say. We’ve entered a world of surrealism which is uncharted territory for me… or maybe it’s territory we’ve been through before in the ’30s?  What do I know… Further explorations are in the pipeline!

Its long string of influential futuristic classics includes such groundbreaking tracks as **“God O.D.”, “Strap Down”, “Psyche Out”, “Helter Skelter”, “Radio Babylon”,“ Edge of No Control”** to **“It’s The Music”. **The single, **“Prime Audio Soup”**( from the album _**Actual Sounds and Voices**_) was featured in the sci-fi fantasy blockbuster **_The Matrix _**and on its platinum-selling soundtrack. An acknowledged and celebrated innovator in the electronic music scene (his remix of **Tower of Power**‘s **“What Is Funk?”** was nominated for a **Grammy** in 2006**)**, Jack Dangers continues to stretch sonic boundaries and influence new generations of sound activists. As a premiere remixer, producer and sound designer, he has played a seminal role in defining tomorrows’ music today. Past production/remixing projects include: **Public Enemy, David Bowie, Orbital, Nine Inch Nails, David Byrne, Bush, Depeche Mode, **and **Tower of Power**.
