I’ve been teasing today’s track for a while, and I’m glad to finally get the opportunity to drop this sickness and introduce you to one of St. Louis’ premiere house deejay/producer talents. Vinyl Bitchie brings unparalleled energy to audiences craving an escape from the everyday grind to a paradise of harmonic orgasms, and she takes audiences to non-chartered locations each and every time she performs live.
I actually had the chance to experience Vinyl Bitchie’s energy in person and in the booth a few weeks ago when she and Darryl “Awesome” Owens headlined Totally Rad with me. It was an amazing and intense evening of house music. If you haven’t seen this up and comer live, check her calendar and get on it.
Today, I have the pleasure of dropping for the first time on the blogz, the first single from her debut album, “UpBeat.”The album aims to break down walls between multiple genres, morphing house and progressive music, with break beats, trance music and live instruments. When asked what the message was she was trying to convey on the album Vinyl simply answers, “I just wanted people to know I did work with Juxtapozishin on a few of the songs on this album, but the song with my credits on them, I did produce them by myself. I am a Producer. I’m not like most female artist who has other people producing music for them and then put their stamp on it. I don’t use samples. Our music is made from scratch. It’s REAL.”
Perhaps the album can best be defined by the Song “Upbeat.” The goal of Upbeat was to create a song that would transcend genres and could be played in a wide variety of environments. Vinyl sums it up by stating, “The track Upbeat uses break beats but the way I produced it House DJs can spin it also, and that is what I want to do with this album. Create songs that can be spun by multiple DJs in multiple genres.”
So what do you think?
