- "I am FEELING the album man! It's fresh and original and sounds like nothing else out there which is always a plus in my book! " - Cozmo D of Newcleus
URB MAGAZINE “25: Now” Issue (November 12, 2009)
“With old school edge and performance punch, Vinyl Life brings classic hip-hop, house, and rave mash-up to the party…and shows no sign of letting up.”
BIG SHOT MAGAZINE (Two page feature in Issue 29 November, 2009)
“These guys seem to instinctually understand why work that guys like Arthur Baker did with New Order and Afrika Bambaataa was, and is, so vitally important in today’s dance music.”
TIME OUT NY (Issue 731 : Oct 1–7, 2009)
“This is club music of the kind that ruled the dance floors in the early ’90s, defined by elements of electro-rap, hip-house, Todd Terry–style club bangers, and lyrics that extol the virtues of B-boy stances, discotheque rocking and getting hype”
VILLAGE VOICE (9-15-2009)
“Vinyl Life's self-titled debut reflects New York City's heyday of breakdancing music, Latin freestyle, and up-tempo breakbeats, celebrating a time when rappers danced and electro was something you heard emanating from boom boxes and public transit, not from public radio.”
"Every once in a while something comes along that knows no boundaries, knows no limits, knows no right from wrong, and my world gets turned upside down." 8/10 - Music Critics
"With extreme precision, know-how and old school equipment, the NYC electro group Vinyl Life releases their debut album on Tape Theory. The aesthetics are something completely new." - The Futurist
“Slip their tracks on that old boombox of yours; you won't have a clue what hit you.” - TECHNOCOLORKIDS
It’s time to have some fun. The boys in Vinyl Life have been at it for years rocking classic Hip-Hop, rave and house cassettes while at the same time collecting an impressive array of vintage analog gear. Seriously pissed off with the lack of presentation in modern electronic music, Vinyl Life built their debut album from the ground up and it’s all about the live show. Lyrics written by a real MC, arranged like a pop album and mixed like a club track, the debut from Vinyl Life is like no other.
A true live act, New York City’s Vinyl Life is comprised of founder/drum machinist Butcha, MC Phaze Future and Keyboardist Richie Roxx. The stage show is comprised of a full on “rig” of analog gear set up on the stage where Phaze Future stands front and center dropping his signature rhymes and making an instant connection with audiences. And since most Vinyl Life tracks feature lyrics, this show is much more exciting than 45 minutes of instrumentals. There’s a classic pop element here that’s hard to resist and it’s the "gear-only" philosophy that gives Vinyl Life a sound like no other. Studio tracks have a live feel because they are produced in a dub style - the mixing board is the main instrument. - credits
