If live-electronic trio Vinyl Life sounds a bit vintage, that’s not by accident; the music of Butcha, Richie Roxx and MC Phaze Future is constructed with the help of venerable analog hardware. (In case you’re not a music-equipment nerd, the wax crackle of opening cut “Hot Sauce” hammers the old-school point home.) But the album’s retro vibe goes much deeper than that. This is club music of the kind that ruled the dance floors in the early ’90s, defined by elements of electro-rap, hip-house, Todd Terry–style club bangers, and lyrics that extol the virtues of B-boy stances, discotheque rocking and getting hype—and that’s just one track, the revved-up “Hi-Tops.” Subtle, it ain’t—but it’ll sure get the party started.—Bruce Tantum
FeeLing the ol skool flava. The sounds coming out of my speakers got my booty shakin and toes tappin. If you know anthng about soind these guys have nailed it. Looking forward to the next live show!!! see u on the dance fLoor Who got the HOT SAUCE???
These fellas are true musicians with a mission--keeping it as real as possible while keeping y'all dancing in the process! The funk runs high in their grooves, while Phaze puts down his lyrical frenzy. Not to be missed live either.... Reeno WWW.SPAZZOID.COM (Where music still matters)
