April 1999 marked the birth of Elements of the Outer Realm, an eight-piece band hailing from Long Beach, California. With a unique sound that is the convergence of a wide spectrum of musical influences including hip-hop, jazz, classical, Latin jazz, Afro-Cuban rhythms, and world music, Elements of the Outer Realm is the combined talents of eight musical artists who each bring their own creativity and musical ability to the group.
Emcees Christian Mendoza and Derrick Engoy poetically deliver their lyrics in a spoken word style. Drummer Rickey Lumpkin II creates multi-dimensional beats, most deem only playable through electronic means. Adding bottom-heavy bass lines and transient vocals is J. Michael Roy as Jojo Villanueva brings beautiful jazz melodies through skillful manipulation of the keyboard. Ian Azuelo twists the norm with his versatile guitar skills, and the multi-talented Genesis not only plays the clarinet and saxophone, but also lends his hands in percussion, playing congas, timbales, djembe and various bells. Rounding out the other-worldly sound of Elements of the Outer Realm is DJ Havik, whose turntablism skills create countermelodies that keep the band grounded in their hip-hop roots.
