on Apr 11th, 2008Vital Vinyl Volume 1: Needle Juice
Live hip-hop, r&b and funk breaks & grooves; vocals & skratch substance. This record represents a major effort to provide fresh grooves and tools for DJs. A super session was convened with keyboardist Ivan Neville (Neville Brothers, Rolling Stones), Modern Drummer r&b Drummer of the Year Tony Braunagel (Bonnie Raitt, Taj Mahal), and legendary bassist James ‘Hutch’ Hutchinson (Bonnie Raitt). The directed jams that ensued were captured live onto multi-track. Then, like a slab of fine marble, sculpted with every tool available. Created especially for the DJ, this record features old-school r&b grooves with lots of space for skratching or mixing, memorable ‘juggle friendly’ hooks, solid bass lines, killer drum breaks and a ton of great new skratch resources.
