Standing On The Corner

Standing On The Corner is an enigmatic and inventive musical collective that emerged from the diverse artistic soil of Brooklyn, New York. Founded by Gio Escobar, who is considered the group's spearhead, Standing On The Corner serves as an ever-evolving sonic incubator that fuses a variety of genres, including jazz, hip-hop, spoken word, and avant-garde. Their work is characterized by experimental soundscapes, overlays of samples and loops, and an overarching dedication to a DIY ethos. The group's name alludes to the multifaceted nature of their music and the notion of occupying space across various musical intersections.

Among their most notable releases is "Red Burns", a prominent showcase of the group’s ability to craft a long-form musical piece that defies conventional categorization. The project is a melange of improvisational jazz, ambient noises, and poignant social commentary that feels like a stream-of-consciousness journey through the collective’s inner world. Other titles in their discography like "G-E-T-O-U-T!! The Ghetto," "Angel," and their self-titled "Standing on the Corner" continue to build upon their reputation as sonic alchemists who refuse to play by the traditional rules of music production. With each release, Standing On The Corner continues to challenge the boundaries of contemporary music, earning them a place as torchbearers for a new wave of progressive artists in the DIY and underground music scene.
