NOW feat ASTRID SURYANTO: KING BRITT

NOW featuring ASTRID SURYANTO- KING BRITT


Well, its been a minute since I released an album of original material. The Intricate Beauty will be coming this March/April on Nervous/FiveSix. I had a great time working on it and collaborating with the beautiful singers, Rucyl, Lady Almaa, Ryat and Astrid Suryanto, as well as remixing Kim English and Byron Stingly exclusives for the album.

This album will be my last 'conventional' dance album. I have been inching more into experimental electronica and techno, like The Nova Dream Sequence and Ramon Tejada w/ Rucyl Mills.

So enjoy this download and spread the word!

BE FREE- RUTH ANN CUNNINGHAM

A few years ago, I received a call from my publishing company, Universal, about collaborating with a new 'singer' named Ruth Ann Cunningham. She was from Dublin and had been a pretty famous writer, doing hits for JoJo, Katherine McFee and Pixie. She also won the ASCAP writer's award. They were about to embark on a collaborative situation and she wanted to work with me. They flew her to Philly and we met at the studio. I hadnt heard her voice yet, but was up for whatever the universe says.

She was I think 21 and tiny. I had no clue what to expect. I made 3 tracks in a day and she was writing full songs in a matter of an hour or so. She had most of the vocal arrangements done in her head. So the moment came where she was to sing. I was in the control room like, oh sh*t, this girl is unreal. She really put it down.
Her management weren't really into the tunes for her pop album, but we made an amazing musical connection. 2 songs will be on the new SYLK130 album, due out in fall 2010. The song Be Free is here for you to enjoy. This song is a preview of whats to come. (demo stage..as is...)

KINGSTRUMENTALS- KING BRITT

Sometimes in the studio, I feel I have too many options. Too many software choices, synths, etc. I felt like I needed to go back to the essence of making beats. So I dusted off the MPC2000 and grabbed stacks of wack from my library to make beats. It was such a wonderful feeling to just flip beats again. Wasn’t even thinking of releasing them, just an exercise for my brain.

The fun part was that I only used the floppy drive. Only 12sec of sample time for each joint.

All kicks, snares and sounds are all from records. Mixed raw, right out of the MPC stereo outs. Done in 1 week in April 2009 (one or two oldies thrown in for good measure)

Just some boom bap vibes for all my peeps who just love a good loop…

Enjoy and share !

FATHER LUCIFER (KING BRITT REMIX)- TORI AMOS

About 10 years ago, Atlantic was going to put out a Tori Amos remix album. This unfortunately never happened. This remix of Father Lucifer, made quite a splash when it did appear on the b-side of Jackie's Strength single. It is now out of print but in high demand. So, of course Im making my mix available for free! Enjoy!
