The Renaissance Mixtape is a musical that follows Soul Science Lab’s Asante Amin and Chen Lo, along with their bandmates in a live radio show – Renaissance Radio, where they grapple with questions of where Black music, art, and innovation has been and is going in the next 100 years.

 

Under the direction of Awoye Timpo, The Renaissance Mixtape orchestrates a concert of viewpoints from the past, present, and future of Black culture. With an original soundtrack featuring hip-hop, funk, and jazz influences and immersive visual elements such as digital projections and video montages, Soul Science Lab conducts a sonic and optic exploration of the philosophies that shaped our culture and the opinions that are sculpting our future.

Commissioned as a part of The Apollo Theater's New Works initiative, The Renaissance Mixtape premiered at the Apollo's New Victory Theater in 2024
