▓ ▓
▓ For almost a decade, The Apple Juice Kid has been ▓
▓ building a reputation as the triangle area's funkiest ▓
▓ drummer. "When I first got here," he recalls, "I used ▓
▓ to sit on the street and play hip hop beats on a ▓
▓ djembe and a cowbell for people on their way to ▓
▓ basketball games." He smiles. "I paid my whole rent ▓
▓ that way." ▓
▓ ▓
▓ Now, in addition to leading three of the area's most ▓
▓ in-demand bands - the hip hop outfit Sankofa, the ▓
▓ live electronica Apple Juice Orchestra and the hot ▓
▓ club act known as The Remix Project - and making ▓
▓ frequent trips to the recording studio to appear on ▓
▓ albums both here and abroad, Juice has moved from the ▓
▓ drummer's stool to the producer's chair with the ▓
▓ release of his long-anticipated debut, Plus+. ▓
▓ ▓
▓ And he's brought some friends; Plus+ is a who's who ▓
▓ of the triangle's best young talent, featuring such ▓
▓ luminaries as singer-songwriter Mark Wells, rapper ▓
▓ Omotade, DJ Pez, and vocalist Shirlette Ammons. "In ▓
▓ between my other projects, I'd started composing on ▓
▓ guitar and piano, learning my way around the studio, ▓
▓ messing with samples," Juice explains. "I started ▓
▓ writing beats for some of the incredible musicians, ▓
▓ rappers and vocalists in the area, trying to create ▓
▓ the kinds of tracks I'd want to hear them on. ▓
▓ Everybody who came through loved what came out of our ▓
▓ sessions, and next thing I knew, Plus+ was done." ▓
▓ ▓
▓ The record is eclectic, moving seamlessly from neo- ▓
▓ soul to hip hop, two-step to Brit-pop, spoken word to ▓
▓ funky dub, but the sensibility behind Plus+ is clear ▓
▓ and focused. Whether on traps, djembe, or any other ▓
▓ instrument from his extensive percussion collection ▓
▓ -- accumulated largely during drum studies in Europe ▓
▓ and West Africa -- The Apple Juice Kid's presence ▓
▓ pushes the tracks forward, keeps Plus+'s musician-to ▓
▓ -musician conversations percolating no matter the ▓
▓ style.s ▓
▓ ▓
▓ "Love" sets things off: a swirling, dub-influenced ▓
▓ cut dominated by slow, rolling drums and tight horn ▓
▓ arrangements by Rob Chaseman. Sampled doublespeed ▓
▓ reggae vocals, cut in by DJ Pez, tie things together. ▓
▓ The track serves as both a welcome and an ▓
▓ announcement of Plus+'s sound: this is headbob music, ▓
▓ evolving right before your ears. ▓
▓ ▓
▓ "I wanted to bring a new sound to a poetry joint," ▓
▓ says Juice of "The Window," a collaboration with ▓
▓ Shirlette Ammons of Stump, "so I fused elements of ▓
▓ neo-soul to elements of drum and bass, added a great ▓
▓ horn line from Rob, and let Shirlette do her thing." ▓
▓ The result is a coffeehouse vibe straight from a ▓
▓ cooler planet. Juice -- whose study of jazz drummers ▓
▓ like Elvin Jones has provided him with a uniquely ▓
▓ melodic approach to the trap kit -- spikes the song ▓
▓ with funky 16th notes on the cymbals and lightning- ▓
▓ fast snare fills, creating a perfect rhythmic bed for ▓
▓ Ammons mix of spoken word and singing. ▓
▓ ▓
▓ "Je Suis Un Chat Noir" is the next stop on Juice's ▓
▓ mental world tour: a piano bar high above the Paris ▓
▓ skyline, an hour before dawn. Sultry vocals weave in ▓
▓ and out of the trip hop mix, as Jana Privett of Apple ▓
▓ Juice Orchestra leans back against a cushion of ▓
▓ subtle, funky drums, upright bass, and turntable ▓
▓ cutting, purring with Eartha Kitt-like sensuality. ▓
▓ "The French vocals are the key," says Juice. "This ▓
▓ track takes me back to some of my favorite times: ▓
▓ late night sessions in Europe, where musicians from ▓
▓ five or six different countries, who've never even ▓
▓ met, are just vibing together onstage. ▓
▓ ▓
▓ Singer-songwriter Mark Wells of Sankofa is featured ▓
▓ on "Take It Slow," a stripped-down rock cut full of ▓
▓ dynamic interplay between drums, turntables, guitar ▓
▓ and vocals. Wells splices Stevie Wonder to the ▓
▓ Beatles, and Juice, even in a more supporting role, ▓
▓ drives the song with a subtle, muscular breakbeat. " ▓
▓ I wanted to make a rock song based on a dope break," ▓
▓ says Juice. "The kind an early-eighties hip hop ▓
▓ producer would kill to sample. And I made sure the ▓
▓ guitars were loud and strong, so they matched the ▓
▓ drums' intensity." ▓
▓ ▓
▓ The experimental hip hop cut "Listen" sets the witty, ▓
▓ laidback flow of Squeezetoy's Omatade over both ▓
▓ djembe and trap kit, with percussive breakdowns that ▓
▓ push the boundaries of hip hop drumming just far ▓
▓ enough. "Different shit -- open ya face to it," the ▓
▓ rapper says, aptly summarizing Plus+, before Latin ▓
▓ syncopation & frenetic turntable acrobatics bring the ▓
▓ track home. ▓
▓ ▓
▓ "I'm fascinated by all kinds of music," says Juice, ▓
▓ who grew up studying jazz and still plays weekly jam ▓
▓ sessions. "Anytime I hear something hot, I dissect ▓
▓ it, figure out what makes it work and how to flip it ▓
▓ a little differently." The result is an album that ▓
▓ reinvents every genre it touches -- a tour of today's ▓
▓ musical landscape led by a tasteful, highly musical ▓
▓ guide who never fails to make sure that the drums ▓
▓ knock.s ▓
▓ ▓
▓ "In a given week," says Juice - who earned his ▓
▓ moniker at age 12, after winning a national drumming ▓
▓ competition sponsored by Premium Apple Juice - "I ▓
▓ might play a hip hop gig, a jazz gig, a neo-soul gig, ▓
▓ a drum and bass gig, even a rock gig. All for ▓
▓ different audiences. I always wanted to figure out ▓
▓ how to make the hip hop fans dig the rock gig, or the ▓
▓ jazz fans dig the drum and bass gig - how to bring ▓
▓ something to each genre that erases those boundaries, ▓
▓ lets everybody feel it all." ▓
▓ ▓
▓ With the unadulterated grooves and overflowing guest ▓
▓ talent of Plus+, the Apple Juice Kid makes good on ▓
▓ that ambition. ▓
