Potatohead People is a Canadian hip-hop/electronic producer duo from Vancouver, BC. They first met in high school and bonded over their love for J Dilla and Madlib. In 2008, they formed Potatohead People and started creating innovative instrumental music. Their 2012 EP 'Kosmichemusik' gained recognition when it was reissued by NY label Bastard Jazz. The duo's debut LP 'Big Luxury' was released in March 2015. They have collaborated with artists like Kaytranada, Phife Dawg, and Questlove.

After developing a friendship with Illa J, the younger brother of J Dilla, Potatohead People produced a full-length LP for him which was released on Bastard Jazz in late 2015. Throughout their career, they have worked with notable musicians such as Moka Only, Pomo, Ivan Ave, and The Pendletons.

OkayPlayer describes Potatohead People as a "formidable tandem" and their unique sounds have been supported by Soulection, Nightmares on Wax, Big Boi, and more.

Potatohead People's Nick and Astro's Guide To The Galaxy. Available here on LP.

The record picks up right where the pair left off, showcasing a leap forward in production chops, musicality, and songwriting. The first single “Quest For Love” “with it’s neck snapping drum break, lush rhodes chords, cosmic synths, guitar &amp; horn flourishes and unexpected musical changeups bring in the hip-hop infected musicality the duo has become so loved for, while Nick &amp; Astro collaborate vocally on top. “Morning Sun” featuring Danish vocalist (and Anderson.Paak collaborator) Nanna.B is in part a melancholy piece with knocking drums, an infectious bassline and a soulful, shimmering hook, while “Do My Thing” featuring Canadian singer Kapok and Illa J is a neck-snapping Hip-Hop joint perfect for the dancefloor. “Liftin’ Up” featuring San Francisco’s K-Maxx ventures into West Coast boogie territories, while the album’s closer “Rituals” goes for a deeper more atmospheric electronic vibe.
