█ El Michels Affair first appeared in 2002 for a 12" single on Soul Fire records █
█ entitled Easy Access Parts 1 & 2. The release was a loose collaboration between █
█ Soul Fire session musicians that featured saxophonist and organist Leon █
█ Michels. However, the style and sound of El Michels Affair, which was later █
█ coined ôcinematic soulö, came about when Leon Michels and Nick Movshon, fellow █
█ band mates from The Mighty Imperials, began recording music in MichelsÆs █
█ bedroom studio. Leon Michels had purchased a Tascam 388 (a home recording 8- █
█ track module from the early eighties), and began experimenting with music that █
█ purposely strayed from the cookie cutter funk that began to saturate the market █
█ at the time. Taking influence from all types of music, Michels and Movshon █
█ began to create new type of soul music that blended the cinematic quality of █
█ soundtrack records with the recording aesthetic of early reggae, and the █
█ rawness of 60's rock. As the record took shape, Michels brought in fellow █
█ musicians and friends to help shape the style and sound of the record, which █
█ would be commercially released on Truth & Soul as Sounding Out The City. Some █
█ of the musicians included in the sessions were old band mates from the Mighty █
█ Imperials, Homer Steinweiss and Sean Solomon, as well as Todd Simon, Michael █
█ Leonhart, Thomas Brenneck, Aaron Johnson, Ben Solomon, and Toby Pazner. █
█ █
█ In 2005, after the record had generated an industry buzz, Scion approached El █
█ Michels Affair with the prospect of performing with Raekwon from the Wu-Tang █
█ Clan. The epic grittiness of Rza's production matched perfectly with the █
█ soulful, cinematic sound El Michels Affair was known for. In fact, it matched █
█ so well that El Michels Affair went on to play four more concerts with members █
█ of the Wu-Tang, including a national tour with Raekwon, which climaxed into a █
█ series of critically acclaimed 7" releases from El Michels Affair which were █
█ instrumental re-interpolations of RzaÆs original beats. █
█ █
█ El Michels Affair has since been recording a full record of Wu-Tang █
█ instrumentals as well as material for an upcoming album of originals. Always █
█ pushing the boundaries, never trying to repeat themselves, expect the █
█ unexpected when it comes to the music of El Michels Affair. █
