Press Release :
Amplified presents the first part in a trilogy
exploring the deeper, darker side of soul music:
This is Dirty Soul...this is Electric
A year after the Millennium Bug failed to bring
the City crashing down, a sense of anti-climax
pervaded London; the sense of a change to come
that had not yet arrived. A revolution was brewing
in the music charts though: brave producers had
begun moving back and forth across the lines
historically separating Pop and R&B. The Neptunes
made a slave out of Britney and got girlfriends
for the members of N*SYNC, and still had the clout
to pass Busta his Courvoisier and get grimey with
Noreaga. Gwen sang for Eve, Christina and Pink
with Mya and Kim. Meanwhile, Alicia sat behind a
piano and made everyone fall for a sound that had
started in '60s soul and found its way to her
through doors opened in the late '90s by the likes
of TonyToniTone, D'Angelo and Badu. A revolution
was indeed happening in the chartsààbut it was
nowhere to be found on the dance floors.
When Zak Akhimien and Jean Claude Mighty first
approached venues with the idea of providing
spaces for people to listen and dance to black
music - beyond the limited spectrum of mainstream
R&B and commercial hip-hop - they could still hear
the laughter as doors swung shut behind them,
laughter that became subdued when they secured
their first slot at Potion in Soho.
Amplified was immediately different from your
average night out in London. The ambiance was
warm, friendly and infectious. No dress codes. No
guest lists. No egos. Come as you are, be yourself
and - above all - enjoy the music. People walked
up to strangers and made friends, and the dance
floor was regularly packed as the music outgrew
neo-soul and hopped through time between rare
grooves, jheri-curled soul, funk and classic
hip-hop, before jumping forward into broken beat
and electrosoul.
The Dirty Soul Trilogy is a three album series
(1.Electric, 2.Accoustic 3.Live) exploring the
alternative end of the soul spectrum. DST is rock
& funk & folk/acoustic influenced soulful music
that doesn't fall into RNB and doesn't fall in
underground or "Beat Driven" soul music...it
covers some of the most influential artists of the
black music genre.
