Villain City

The duo that is Villain City does a mash up of multiple genres, a mix of electronica, grunge guitar, melodic vocals, heavy bass, and ethnic instruments, with darker, and dirtier beats thrown into the mix. They just call it Brain Fat. "We make feast-able music. The tracks are meaty. You have to dig in, stab your fork and serrated knife into it just to get it on the plate, " says Korean K.U., who sings, writes, and plays violin for Villain City. If it’s K.U.’s vocals that give each track emotional melodies, then it's Ramon's production that creates that dirty dark phat sound—in other words, the meat. Ramon is Los Angeles native BeatDJ Ramon, the beat mastermind and producer of the duo who plays everything from kalimba to sitar on their first full-length CD entitled "The Envy of the Angels". Ramon founded the infamous Club Love located in LA’s Chinatown in the late1980’s uniting people from diverse backgrounds and musical tastes. “I think of using music to lubricate the senses; heightening vibrations and therefore awareness.” Ramon has worked as a programmer and sound designer for a myriad of world famous artists from Prince to Dr. Dre., and is currently scoring a feature film for a Spanish production. K.U hit the UK Urban Charts as a solo dance music artist in the late '90's, hitting clubland and pirate and mainstream radio hard with her live performances. Villain City opened up for the Beastie Boys on their summer '07 tour. Check them out on myspace, youtube, ziddio, and on their internet label, Libertunes.
