Terrestrial Radio

Description

The new album by Jason Grimez, aka Doctor Bionic, a producer based in Cincinnati and owner of Chiefdom Records, is an instrumental collection of classic soul, jazz, and hip-hop sounds. The first installment of a three-part series, Terrestrial Radio offers 37 minutes of carefully selected music. The track "Keep Your Kids in School" showcases a formidable rhythm section. Brian Batchelor-Glader recorded the organ over a funky foundation laid down by Marvin Hawkins (drums) and Aaron Jacobs (bass). With an equally punchy bass line, funky guitar hits, and well-thought-out trumpet arrangements (Michael Mavridoglou), "Wire Fraud" is the perfect soundtrack for your next bank heist. The rest of the album provides everything from gospel grooves mixed with head-nodding drum breaks. For fans of El Michels Affair, Adrian Younge, Roy Ayers, Karriem Riggins, The Roots, Khruangbin.
