From the roots of hip-hop, world fusion, and experimentation.
Audiopharmacy’s (San Francisco) new album, “Spare Change” has finally
been born. The formula- All live world instrumentation blended with
Hip Hop, World, and Reggae... Audiopharmacy is spreading their message
of consciousness and unity across the globe.

Audiopharmacy’s performance and sound is refreshingly unique.
Audiopharmacy’s live set is nourished with congas, Spanish and middle
eastern style guitar, dubbish fretless basslines, turntablism,
electronic and live drum kit as well as other percussions, flute, sax,
melodica, ruan, two conscious MCs, one MC/soul singer, a Brasilian
songstress (female vocalist), and live acrylic artists as well. The
energy ranges from hype hip hop tracks through Latin samba vibes,
dubbish/roots/reggae, to downtempo Portishead type sounds as well.
Sets vary depending on show atmosphere. All musicians are diverse. A
typical tour consists of the 7 piece band (band description below), a
reggae/dancehall/hip hop dj, a funk/soul/hip hop dj, and two to four
live painters.

With Audiopharmacy, dj Stepwise (APP San Francisco/Angel Magic/Holding
Firm.) spins roots/reggae/dancehall/hip hop. Dj-ÓOfferingsÓ also is in
the crew, spinning mainly funk/soul/hip hop/and reggae. Both spin
before/after the live sets hyping up the crowd and keeping the vibes
proper. Niceone and Dee Jae Pa’este throw down acrylic paint live on
stage with the band creating solid productions by the end of each set.
Also, to ensure a strong fan base in every traveled city, prior to
every show, Audiopharmacy Prescriptions will supply stores who stock
the CD with 200- 300 free
promotional audioflyers (cds with the store’s info printed on casing)
for your promotional use. This is essential. (Audiopharmacy
Prescriptions also does original illustrations, graphic design work or
flyer art.) The movement is strong.

"A seamless fusion of hip-hop, world, reggae, grassroots jazz, & soul
into a natural mold, which speaks to your soul all while making you
move. The vocalists don’t come off as emcees & song-stresses, but as
ancient scribes men dropping poetic gems of truth with the care of
village elders. The music and instrumentation unifies the cultures of
many. The Pharm represents a movement towards a musical utopia. While
the rest of society catches up, my only hope is that those who get it
can “Spare” to “Change” themselves. Recommended." Mr. Ed (WaxPoetics,
