Doks Robotiks

Doks Robotiks is a jazz/hip-hop octet from Eau Claire, Wisconsin, and they sound exactly like that. Which is to say, they're an underground Midwestern act serving the nu-jazz movement that's sweeping the mainstream with acts like Thundercat and Flying Lotus. The Doks' looser sound on their Doks Robotiks Free Form EP reflects the band's live feel. In the age of jazztronica, it's refreshing to hear rhythm intricacies played by real people. Emcees Konstant and Gumm feed each other's hyper-freestyle chemistry, and their playful energies push the band in fun directions, as if Ad-Rock and Mike D decided to quit the Beastie Boys to join BadBadNotGood. For the release party for their eponymous full-length debut, Doks Robotiks enlisted companions Sayth and Sloslylove, as well as Twin Cities poet-singers Lydia Liza and Lizea Harper. - City Pages

"Recording an EP before they
ever hit the stage, Doks
Robotiks – intentionally or
not – seems to avoid
convention on the Eau Claire
music scene." - VolumeOne

This past Thursday night, the jazz infused hip-hop group, Doks Robotiks, held down 7th Street Entry for their EP release show.
