Modern Streets

Description

BEAT SPACEK is the latest project from producer/vocalist Steve Spacek. With boundless talent, his work transcends genres and styles – working on rhythm, melody, mood, and atmosphere. From his legendary output with the band Spacek; his solo work on the cult label Sound In Color; his collaborations with the great and late J.Dilla; to his more discreet Black-Pocket project for dBridge's label, Exit Records, as well as his more recent work with Mark Pritchard as half of Africa HiTech, he has always shown great originality with a bold approach to creation. From the paranoid post-punk of "I Wanna Know" with its dreamy sleng teng, to the very pop nu-wave love song "Inflight Wave," Modern Streets is the direct reflection of this experience imagined by the mind of a 21st-century rude boy. The powerful, bass-heavy anthem "Alone in Da Sun" leverages the best of the dubstep sound lexicon and twists it into a stirring club track, brimming with soul and charisma.
