Artist Detailed Info: Ascended Essence

"Ascended Essence"

Is the universe viewed through artistic manifestations. Ascended Essence embodies emcee's, producers, and creative souls who have taken upon themselves the responsibility of taking Hip-Hop and conscious expression 2 the next plateau. A.E. works to use the medium of audio to raise the vibration of the listener....this isn't just music- it's an experience.

Why Ascended Essence?

Not a name that was thoughlessly chosen, there is a cosmic bestowed purpose behind the semantics 'Ascended Essence'. At the heart of the physical/mental/spiritual realm lies a truth which is beyond words...an essence. When one is in touch with this 'essence' on the deepest level, their entire experience or reality is 'awakened' per se. The consciousness then becomes ascended from repitition of intense metaphysical deliberation.

There is a shift occuring in the world, and in music- especially Hip-Hop - to a more thought-provoking and spiritually enlightened sound. Ascended Essence is at the forefront of that shift.

East Coast natives ARC and EPADEMC unified into the A.E. Syndicate in the late 1900's. Shortly after, the 'Ascended Essence' mindstate was discovered; hence began the movement since, representing 'the way' of living life above the basics, in higher vibrations.

In the spirit of ascension and expansion, in early 2000's, The A.E. Movement grew to include 'esoteric lyricist' Mt Sinai and the 'eclectic beatsmith' Recruit. The unity of SINAI, RECRUIT, and A.E. was a direct response to the Universe's spiritual evolutionary shift. These are times of dormant energy becoming active....potential being realized.

Sonically, A.E. displays a decisive and tangent of multi-genre sampling, RECRUIT aka Rick Root resonates with his higher self through the instrumentals he creates. In comaparison to the mundane recycling of loops, breaks and cookie cutter production of AE's contemporaries, it is obvious who's on the real cutting edge with new music. Lyrically, artist EPADEMC and ARC-DIZ address the beauty of consciousness, separating the listener from the everyday worldly movements and bringing them to a fresh reality named, 'The Great'. All with an infectious energy thier words beautifully struggle to express the grand design of the cosmos. SINAI introduces a mix of eastern philosophy & western mysticism....a transmission of 'ancient wisdom' which speaks to the soul, as well as the mind. As a combined force these lyricists truly embody the construct of ''Ascended Essence".

AE has composed a number of successful singles and albums... 2001 saw "After Earth", which included songs such as "Life of A.E.", 'The Stronghold' and "The Path". but it is their sophmore effort, "Ascended Masters LP.", an independent self-produced coming-of-age accumulation of contemplate thoughts and wit, that has solidified them as a force to be reckoned with in years to come. Released in late 2004, "The Ascended Masters LP." represents an honest expression of freedom that makes it a timeless classic.

On his own, Mt Sinai has a series of independant releases going back to 2003, including "At The Mouth Of The River", "The Process Of Ascension Preview", and the well-received mixtape style album "Wise Hip Hop".

Together the Ascended Essence Movement continues to perfect and advance their sound, displaying their unique take on hip-hop, and the world. As '2012 builds, so does anticipation of the next AE Mixtape "DARK FLOW THEORY" In a world of uncertainty, there is something that is unquestionable.....the Essence Is Ascended!
