Elusive - Natural Resolve

Planting a flag in the evolution of the beat scene's sound over the last two decades, Elusive has embarked on an emboldened voyage, marked by feature contributions from some of LA's finest musicians. Trumpet, harp, saxophone, bass guitar, and many other instruments extend the musicianship and scope of his latest works, defining a bridge between electronic, hip-hop, and jazz in a very personalized and technical form. 
 Garnishing recent love from BBC, KCRW, The FADER, L.A. Record, XLR8R, self-titled, WWFM, NestHQ, The Wire, and Amoeba Records, Elusive has become a force to be reckoned with and continues his prolific path of album releases with over a dozen albums, EPs, and singles launched in the last four years alone. Elusive has called Alpha Pup Records and Dome of Doom home for many years now, producing his best work to date under the LA based labels. As a frequent contributor Low End Theory's decade plus run of weekly showcases, Elusive walks in the same footsteps as Ras G, Samiyam, TOKimonsta, Dibiase, Jonwayne, Mono/Poly, Daedelus and so many more.
