Do You Know Good Music?
Our man Clarence (DYKC) does. He dropped by this afternoon for lunch and brought us something to spin on the turntable. The Menahan Street Band “…is a collaboration of musicians from Antibalas, El Michels Affair, Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings and the Budos Band. The group was brought together by musician/producer Thomas Brenneck to record in the bedroom of his Menahan St. apartment in Bushwick, Brooklyn, New York.” One track on this disc, “Make the Road by Walking,” was famously sampled by another Brooklyn native, Jay-Z, for his hit “Roc Boys.”
The smooth sounds emanating from the speakers are a perfect complement to the laid-back but creative and focused vibe here at OPEN. Like DYKC says, music for “grown-ass people.” Thanks, Clarence!
