Welcome to the enigmatic world of A library called Calder, the latest from veteran Canadian emcee Epic. This world-building hip hop record pulls together a rich collection of thought-provoking narratives as Epic issues his reports and observations from once familiar territory. From the opening strains of “Chickpeas”, Epic brings the listeners with him as he points out jarring changes in the world around him, musing about what once was while pressing on into an uncertain future that still finds hope on album finale “Properly Swim”. With a perspective as unique as his voice, Epic guides listeners through a labyrinth of emotions and ideas, each verse twisting and turning around the dreamlike, otherworldly production by Montreal’s Deadly Stare. Ethereal beats grounded equally in Golden Age boom bap and sweeping prog rap abstraction serve as the perfect compliment to this mesmerizing and profound record that serves as a travelogue of both past and present. Together, Epic and Deadly Stare have built something magnificent in A library called Calder. Step inside and check it out.

After living in the inner city for most of his life, Epic retired from his career and moved away from the centre of the city, a change that provided some unexpected time to take a look back at his life and the little details that define who we are. The inspiration was unexpected and Epic soon discovered that Northside life was in sharp contrast to life in the decaying Edmonton centre. Surprisingly, the shining Christmas lights on the many neighbourhood bungalows were most noticeable. With a beat from Deadly Stare (Triune Gods, Endemik Music) that underscore life’s rhythms and precious moments, “Chickpeas” invites us warmly into Epic’s world.

Full album coming Spring of 2025.

Capturing the dizzying buzz of the road and the excitement of nightly shows with horns, claps, and raps, “Turntables in the Van” cranks up the boom bap and takes us along for the ride. Inspired in part after witnessing Fugazi’s tour van washing machine routine and realizing the need to tour smartly, especially when traversing Canada’s vast landscape, Epic and Deadly Stare cram the band into the van to bring their music to the people. What is a band without turntables, anyway?

Full album coming Spring of 2025.

In the midst of promoting their upcoming new album, A library called Calder, Epic & Deadly Stare drop this non-album track to call out the Ontario premier as we head into election day in Ontario. “Fug Dord” is a short, silly track that mocks the infamous hash dealer turned crony capitalist premier over a beat from Deadly Stare. Inspired by a bizarre news conference with Doug Ford addressing car theft.

“So Much Class” is the first single from Epic & Deadly Stare’s album A library called Calder, released on Hand’Solo Records. What happens to old legends when time pulls them away from the game? After more than a decade, Epic returned to a local freestyle night in Edmonton, AB to find an alien landscape. Unlike the warm welcome he had found in the past, the new denizens of the cipher were on a whole new tip. Unshaken by their apparent hostility, Epic did what he has always done and cut through the noise with dope raps and so much class. Featuring gut-rattling production from Deadly Stare (Triune Gods, Endemik Music), Epic is back with a sharp reminder that legends never die.

Full album coming Spring of 2025.

Arborescence est le premier album long format de Zedrine. Il fait suite aux différents EP et projets de groupe (Dum Spiro, Enterré sous X) qui ont constitué son parcours. Il aura fallu presque 3 ans pour penser, écrire et mettre en forme ce répertoire amorcé en 2019. L’idée était de tirer les fils, de suivre les branches diverses qui entourent l’artiste, par le biais de collaborations multiples et de bâtir un répertoire personnel, cohérent et singulier au croisement de tout ça. Après les premiers pas sur ce chemin, la collaboration qui s’est mise en place avec Scott Da Ros a été essentielle pour la suite. Il avait déjà mixé l’EP “150 000 km” avec beaucoup de soin. Ici, c’est aussi pour ses qualités d’artiste compositeur et producteur qu’il a été sollicité. Pour que le répertoire s’assemble en finesse et que la vision de Zedrine prenne forme, il fallait au moins l’attention, l’écoute et le savoir-faire de Scott. À partir des matières brutes, il aura coupé, arrangé, ajouté, remplacé certains sons, affiné les couleurs des titres. Au fil de l’album et en anglais dans le texte, Scott a apporté : drums, percussion, hand claps, bass synths, additional synths, bass guitar… et l’instrumentale pour “Les yeux du temps”.

A distant collaboration between six experimental hip hop producers; Deadly Stare, EMC, Hermitofthewoods, Maki, sign one and soso. This group/coalition of collaborators have called themselves “The Endemik Remote Ensemble.” Each composition on this project was created in a round-robin format. The individual artists all started by creating one part, then passed it forward for the next artist to contribute a part and continued “passing the beat” till all producers contributed to the song. The tracks were then returned to the original artist, to finalize the arrangement. The final product is album of truly unique collaborations that pack a heavy punch.
