ONEdependent & Taki76

www.RadioRecession.com www.radiorecession.blogspot.com http://cdbaby.com/cd/radiorecession ONEdependent & Taki76 Present: Radio Recession is a schizophrenic mix, a new type of sound, a ‘sci-fi funk’ thang. Philly soul blended with experimental hip-hop, if you will. Kick-kick-kickin’ right through your speakers, ONE-76’s dusted groove will make you forget that the music biz is currently on life support! Starting with the crackling sounds of a needle hitting old vinyl, anguished voices chronicle poverty, power and possession while leading you on an unpredictable musical trip. ONE-76, or Radio Recession is a Philly based duo that met in 2005 and realized that although they ran from different lands [Buffalo and Montreal, respectively], their artistic goals were the same. Needless to say, the RADIO RECESSION evolution was born.

Narykcin, from Lancaster, PA sings on “Feel My Pain” and “Soul Will Be Free”, telling soulful stories of Philly and the women who bless it. ONE-76’s debut album contains music that will catch the ear of underground hip hop heads who dig Madlib and Gnarls Barkley and even please the fans of old school legends George Clinton, Prince, Sly Stone and Curtis Mayfield. Mark Anthony Jones, (who has played with Santana, Roy Ayers and The Roots) reacted to ONE-76’s music by saying, “I am sitting here with a BigAss silly Bootzilla grin on my face listening to Radio Recession, Shit sounds DOPE!”. The critically acclaimed Sy Smith (vocals for Whitney Houston, USHER etc) had this to say, “Good ole brotherly-lovin funk… Mellow groves, tight improvisation and melodies made of molasses … This is a different kind of Philly Funk … The kind of funk that transcends trends … ” Read more on Last.fm.
