New name, new member, new album.
Introducing ATS [Above Top Secret] an evolution of Abstract Random, also known as Ayo Leilani, Tee Fergus and Sunsun. An all female, experimental, rap – electro – dub hop mashup.
Three people, six years, countless shows from galleries & parks, to clubs and festivals like; NXNE, CMW, AfroPunk, Riot Grrrl Berlin,Wavelength, Soul Of Brooklyn, AMC, Pride and more. They have opened for Shabazz Palaces (Sub Pop Records), THEESatisfaction (Sub Pop Records), Climbing Poetree (NYC), LAL (T.O) and Elephant 12 (UK). As well as, independently toured Europe twice in 2012 & 2013, playing shows in Berlin, Oldenburg, Amsterdam, London and Paris.
As members of the Toronto based collective 88 Days Of Fortune, ATS describes their third album as aggressive yet therapeutic. A release, a way to process, as well as a method of self care. Their Afro-Futuristic inspired production is a mashup of dub, trap, hip hop, and world beats overlaid with vocal loops and samples.
Their newest single “Ghost” produced by Sunsun , mixed by Red Bull Jamaica’s @MixedbyLytes (aka Tandra Jhagroo), is a reflection of their lived experiences. The song talks about loss of friendships, miscommunication, frustration, and self medication. Look out for their video dropping in a few weeks and their album “Above Top Secret” due in the summer.
