DJ MONKEY'S "ANOTHER EVOLUTION"
AIRBORNE MONKEY RECORDS

"AMBIENT WORD"

As cutting-edge as the spoken word heard in the contemporary jazz and poetry slam world, yet as accessible as hip-hop and modern R&B/Pop, DJ MONKEY'S CD "ANOTHER EVOLUTION" offers cuts like the satirical "Beatnik," the emotional "Too Cool" and the angry "Big Oil". Hooky, catchy, yet meaningful and challenging, DJ MONKEY (though often compared to Soul Coughing), could be the first act of its type to break through into the world of mass acceptance, bridging the gap between spoken word, theater, dance and pop music; boomers, Gen-Xers and today's digitally altered 21st Century children. They scratch, they dance, they scat, they bump; they wax philosophical, subversive, surreal and comical all on the same canvas. They call their music "Ambient Word."

What makes this CD even more interesting is that it has been created by a surprisingly diverse group of individuals; including Joey Alkes (co-author of the Plimsouls' and Goo Goo Dolls' "Million Miles Away" & Jim Basnight's "No More War"), Mick McMains (Earl Slick's NYC), Lil' TipToe (Snoop Dogg & the Dogg Pound, Bad Azz, Daz & Karupt) and Mitch "Count Daddy-O" Rafal (Kid Frost, Mellow Man Ace, Luciano & Rick James).

new mainline fix of groove and
social-political observation. Yes!"

"A fabulous amalgamation of alt-rock, hip hop, beatnik funk-lounge, social-political diatribes, and right-on off-kilter viewpoints. When the smoke clears, you'll be exhausted from bouncing your brain around the room. This is the future of music, man (or simian)." - CD Scene & Heard
