BREAK SCIENCE WITH SPECIAL GUEST MARVEL YEARS AND K+Lab CHOP SHOP
Friday, October 18th 18+ Pioneers of Colorado’s electronic music
explosion, Break Science soars ahead of the curve, with a decade-plus
trendsetting the game. Steeped in filial traditions of East Coast hip
hop, and futuristic soundwaves of the now, the Denver-based duo
continues to scale creative mountains. Comprised of
keyboardist/producer/jazz pianist Borahm Lee (Pretty Lights Live Band)
and funk/hip-hop drummer extraordinaire Adam Deitch (Lettuce), Break
Science traces roots to the embryonic seeds that flowered the
electro-soul movement. The pair have consistently ascended the cutting
edge of live dance music culture with an array of blistering live
performances in any number of settings or configurations.
Borahm Lee’s masterful use of Ableton Live and prowess atop an
assortment of analog synths, Fender Rhodes, and digital plug-ins
propel Break Science’s towards the new frontier. Lee has worked with
cultural icons like Kanye West and The Fugees, he is well versed in
reggae/dub vibrations. Adam Deitch keeps it thorough with classic
boom-bap, and inventive patterns that employ his rhythmic wizardry, be
it electronic drum programming or a traditional trap-kit. Deitch has
worked with hip-hop legends like Redman, Pharoahe Monch and members of
the Wu-Tang Clan, he’s manned the drum seat for jazz luminaries like
John Scofield (Uberjam). Both members of Break Science bring classic
hip-hop, dub, drum n’ bass, dancehall, jazz, funk, and genre-defying
elements to coalesce in modern electronic soundscapes.
The sum of these parts has evolved Break Science into an amalgam of
styles authentic, and an artistic aesthetic wholly their own, heard in
the highest of definition on their titanic 2018 full-length LP Grid of
Souls. For ever-further explorations in sound, the duo will form like
Voltron, combining with several members of Lettuce for the
wildly-kinetic Break Science Live Band. Whether the essential dynamic
duo or a full-fledged ensemble, they continue to break down the
science & move the arena, one gridlocked soul at a time.

Cory Wythe, the producer and guitarist better known as Marvel Years,
has found a welcome place for himself within the increasingly popular
glitch-hop / electro-soul dance music scene. In just a short period of
time, his progression has become outright impossible to ignore. Much
more than your average DJ/producer, Marvel Years is an incredible
guitarist that shreds well beyond his years. His approach to blending
electronic beats and shredding soulful guitar on his original tracks
and remixes creates a sound that is a unique hybrid of EDM combing
glitch, retro-funk, classic rock, soul, jazz and hip-hop. “Classic
rock has been a huge influence on me,” Wythe explains. “I love
breathing new life into those older songs. I think that’s a good
medium for bringing new listeners into my music because they can
relate to that stuff. I improvise (on live guitar) over a lot of my
stuff.”
While Marvel Years continues to make a name for himself, it was
inevitable that he caught the attention of other prominent artists in
the scene. His very first-ever live performance supporting Pretty
Lights in Boston, MA (July 2013) has only been followed with an
impressive amount of success and opportunities. In August 2013 he made
a surprise guest appearance performing two of his tracks along side
Mikey Thunder at Pretty Lights sold out Red Rocks show. Later that
year, he was invited to hit the road on a multi-week bus tour as
support for GRiZ’s Rebal Era Tour. Then, in the fall of 2013, Cory
was offered an opportunity to do an official remix for Pretty Lights
– “Where I’m Trying To Go” that was released on December 10 on
‘A Color Map of the Sun Remixes‘.
Spring 2014, Marvel Years embarked on his first ever national tour
(along with fellow up-and-comers Krooked Drivers and Muzzy) playing
smaller venues and clubs in fourteen new markets on the “Retro
Electro Tour”. Later that year he was invited to join The Floozies
and Exmag on the “Back On It Tour”. Additionally, he was added to
an impressive number of events and festivals where he captured the
attention of new listeners with his increasingly popular and fresh
sound.
2015 continues to provide an incredible amount of opportunity for the
constantly evolving artist. In January, he blew the audience away at
the Best Buy Theater in New York City supporting another one of his
biggest influences – Gramatik. His calendar stays full as he has
been and is scheduled to play with artists such as Manic Focus, Break
Science, and Exmag. Just recently, he performed a set supporting a
near sold-out House of Blues Chicago show – in addition to
performing as the guitarist for the debut of the headlining act, Manic
Focus Live Band.
Marvel Years is a kid with a dream, the talent, and the drive to make
big moves… and those paying attention are witnessing history. His
releases, impossible not to love, are primed and ready to help you
forget your troubles and drift you into a happier state of mind. Keep
your eye on this fresh artist who has those smooth funky grooves on
lock and become marveled yourself.
