The Rust Presents: 5AM (2x) w/ Smigonaut, Humandala & Hoopla
Fresh off a string of dates supporting Papadosio, 5AM returns to Brooklyn for two sets (Live Looping + Journey Set) alongside fellow Rust Music mainstays and label mates, Smigonaut and Humandala, and up-and-coming producer Hoopla! This one is a can’t miss for fans of jazz infused, bass driven, psychedelic beats – hope to see you there on the dance floor!
MEET THE ARTISTS:
5AM
5AM is Philly-based producer, musician, graphic designer, and creative magnate Sam Andrus. Once a student at the Rhode Island School of Design burning the midnight oil in the studio with a soundtrack always in the background, Sam has since forged his inspirations from jazz fusion, funk, and future beats into a style of bass music known to captivate audiences with a spectacle of mesmerizing detail and high resolution sound design. 5AM’s music merges worlds as it expertly weaves electronic production and live instrumentation through creative processing and meticulous mixing.
To bring his journey full circle, Sam has expanded his project to form the 5AM Trio, a collaboration complete with live drumming from ZONE Drums (Aaron Harel) and guitar, bass, and pads from Keith Wadsworth. 5AM has soared to new heights, becoming the first electronic music producer to perform at the historic Kings Theatre in New York City for the sold-out Tipsgiving. 5AM is now a seasoned performer who's shared the stage with Tipper, Shpongle, Jade Cicada, kLL sMTH, Detox Unit, Kalya Scintilla, Random Rab, and more, and lived and built strong roots up and down the east and west coasts of the US.

SMIGONAUT
Smigonaut aka Josh Kipersztok approaches alternative electronic music with the touch of a trained jazz musician and the precision of an audio engineering professional. He is, in fact, both of these things. From glitch hop to downtempo, Smigonaut’s brand of bass music stands - or rather swings - out from the pack. Swaggering from the speaker stacks his music strikes a balance between the experimental and the accessible. He produces low-down, left-field neuro bass, but couches it in familiar jazzy frameworks.
Originally hailing from Seattle, Washington, Josh learned to play instruments early in life. His great familiarity with note relationships adds dimension to his music that few producers on the electronic airwaves can mirror. With the right scale he’ll pull deep emotions from the audience. In the next bar, he’ll brighten the dance floor by dangling from note to note like a trapeze artist. Josh cultivated these skills, versed himself in music technology, and developed a professional approach to composition as a student at Berklee College of Music. As a post grad, he began flexing sound systems from New York City to Portland, Oregon and hasn’t looked back. Today he’s a mainstay on lineups at major music festivals and curated club nights throughout the Northeastern US.

HUMANDALA
Humandala expresses the geometry and synchronicity of the human experience. Ever-evolving and honoring all forms of music, Humandala strives to explore new territory free from the restraints of genre. Blending the synthetic with the organic, the traditional with the undiscovered and the darkness with the light, Humandala captures in music, the experience that connects us all.
