Out Now: Rhett Frazier Inc - Escape From Dee-Troyt
April 1st, 2010

rhett-frazier-inc-dee-troyt_1Ever wonder what Al Green would sound like with techno beats and loops along with fuzzed-out guitars to back him up? With the recent release of Escape from Dee-troyt, Los Angeles duo Rhett Frazier Inc. displays a rare mix of classic soul and funk alongside modern synths and the occasional loud guitar. Frazier’s main co-conspirator is drummer/producer is Inc - aka: Donny Gruendler. Like Frazier, he’s a multi-tasker, with the liner notes crediting him with drums, synths, production and mangled beats. The juxtaposition of Frazier’s retro voice and Gruendler’s futuristic production give the music its teeth. Get addicted to it here first:

Hey Everybody, I am so proud that my Hudson Videos are finally available! The first, Seeing Sounds is a 3-part lesson series  — and a comprehensive study on how to achieve a professional sound within Rock, Funk and Jazz. I clearly demonstrate each drum and cymbal size’s application, the appropriate microphone and mic placement for each sound and the proper drumset articulations for each musical style. This series will help you  take control of your sound and attain your favorite drum sounds on the stage and studio. You can view excerpts on my media-video page
