Looking back to the dance music explosion of the mid-1990’s there’s one common string that connects the genre’s most accomplished artists – an exciting live show. Whether it’s The Prodigy, Chemical Brothers, Orbital, Underworld or Groove Armada, the live show is an element needed to make a connection with audiences. Dance music has often been considered a genre lacking excitement and one where DJs hide in a booth spinning unknown tunes for many hours. It’s no surprise then that artists delivering a dynamic live show are also the one’s making the biggest impact both critically and commercially.
Vinyl Life – comprised of true New York City boys Butcha, Phaze Future and Richie Roxx – understand the power of a live show. Blending the worlds of electronic house music and classic Hip-Hop, Vinyl Life have carved out a niche of their own at a time when live and actively touring acts are few and far between. With just a few EP and single releases under their belt, Vinyl Life has already brought their unique live show to venue across the United States and international territories.
Keeping with the “old school vibe†and love of classic Hip-Hop, Vinyl Life produces with real instruments and hardware both in the studio and on stage. It’s the "gear-only" philosophy that gives Vinyl Life a sound like no other and their studio tracks have a live feel because they are produced in a dub style - the mixing board is the main instrument. Club audiences love seeing Vinyl Life create live house music on stage with an energy and vibe that no single DJ could supply.
Beyond the music production, Vinyl Life’s Phil Moffa is also a contributing editor for dance music’s longest running magazine DJ Times; its sister publication Club World Magazine; and is a Production Master Class Instructor at State University Of New York at Purchase (all three Vinyl Life members also graduated from the school). He’s also once lent his classic Roland TR-909 to Detroit techno legend Jeff Mills for a live performance!
2009 will find Vinyl Life taking things to the next level. Paramount to the band’s growth is the summer release of a debut vinyl artist album via their Tape Theory label. The music will reflect the multiple tastes of Vinyl Life’s three members and is set to traverse multiple genres including house, Hip-Hop, hip-house, electro and reggae. Vinyl Life will tour extensively in support of the release; taking their unique approach to live electronic music to hungry audiences across the world.
