310 (Seattle’s Joseph Dierker and New York’s Tim Donovan) have been developing their unique blend of hip-hop, art rock beats, ethnic percussion, ambient drones, vocal samples and live instrumentation since 1997 with the self-released “Aug 56” and “Snorkelhouse”. With their following releases on the Leaf Label, Desolat and Conduit Records, their signature sound has developed beyond it’s humble beginnings as tapes sent back and forth across the country as each member layered upon and reworked his partner’s music.
