Afrika Bambaataa is a timeless legend, as relevant, daring, and innovative today as he was over two decades ago when "Planet Rock" became one of the first breakout hits to put hip-hop on the map. He's created countless classics and has collaborated with everyone from James Brown to Boy George to John Lydon. His Zulu Nation launched the careers of De La Soul, Queen Latifah, and A Tribe Called Quest. "Dark Matter" taps into elements ranging from African percussion, Bollywood, and jazz, to techno, new wave, and "dirty south", blending them into one of the most interesting and infectious albums in recent memory. Contributing producers include such famed and up and coming names as Fort Knox Five, Paul Daley, Uberzone, Simply Jeff, Sharaz, and more.
