Telepath, represented by Thievery Corporation's 'Outernational Music', is the creation of producer and multi-instrumentalist Michael Christie. Using his background as a drummer and keyboardist in various electronic and Afrobeat bands, Michael informs his music with an organic, human element that is often lacking in modern electronic music. The new album 'Fire One' mixes the influences of dub, dancehall, Indian and Arabic music, gritty funk, and more into an album of down tempo magic equally at home in a dark, smoky living room, or bangin' in a late-night club.
