Levon Vincent is a DJ and producer from NYC. He is part of the tri-state’s Underground Quality crew Headed by label owner Jus Ed. He runs the Novel Sound label and also makes records for Deconstruct Music, a second label which he manages alongside longtime friend Anthony Parasole (of House n Home).
”I spent my teenage years in the pre-Guiliani dance-friendly 90’s on 8th street at Patricia Field’s store, ticketing clothing in the basement during days, then spending my nights DJing and learning to make house music. In that era I DJ’d at clubs like Limelite, Shelter, Save the Robots, and Nation. The latter half of the 90s was pretty weak in NY, and I dropped out to focus on learning more about music. In 2002, I started working for Halcyon Records in Brooklyn where we hosted parties with DJs like Frankie Knuckles, Danny Krivit, Nicky Siano, Mark Kamins, Jus-Ed and many more inspirational figures. During this time I ran my first record label, “MoremusicNY” and I made my first deep house record, nomoreheros, (released in 2002). Jaymz Nylon heard it in the store and gave me some very important feedback, and helped me understand a newer approach to doing arrangments “on the fly”, which I then explored for the next several years. This technique proved to be a huge piece of the puzzle for me. In 2007 I began preparation for my label, Novel Sound, under the guidance of friend and mentor Jus Ed.”
Joining Levon behind the turntables on October 23rd.... Fred P!
Fred P aka Black Jazz Consortium has been involved with music since childhood.Growing up in Flatbush Brooklyn Fred has been exposed to a wide variety of music such as the R&B/Funk and Rock and Roll of the 70’s, Electro/Hip-Hop, Reggae and Disco of the early 80’s as well as House music of the mid-80’s early 90’s.
This has been the soundtrack playing in the back ground of his life past to present.
Coming from a musical family it’s no stretch of the imagination why Fred is a artist, however not in the traditional sense. Science and philosophy play a large roll in his approach to music and life itself. Choosing to present rawness over the pristine, substance over style and vibe over formula is the very definition of the projects he brings to life such as his music under his Black Jazz Consortium. guise .
Fred began his education in the world of sound sculpting in the late 80’s in his home in Flatbush. Collecting old broken cassette decks and repairing them was more than a hobby it was a necessity. In order to carry out his experiments he needed the proper tools, having limited means he made do with what he had and improvised. The results of these experiments at the time didn’t come into play until some years later.
Aside from his interest in developing sounds Fred was learning the fine art of djaying. He would play in his neighborhood for birthday parties and little get togethers for his family.
As years went by Fred quietly continued to build his musical vocabulary as a artist and producer. Doing demos and making beats for emerging Hip Hop artists from Brooklyn as well as rhythm programming for the late Noel Pointer in the early 90’s .
The Studio has always been a second home for Fred. Music is the language that brings his point across. Djaying is the arena to spread these points of view and if you ask him what’s the point he will always say the same thing: ” Love, Life and Rhythm. It is Fred’s philosophy that music is the universal language that brings everyone together under a sound , under a groove and vibration. What you do with it is a personal choice but it’s there for everyone inclusively .
From this point of view comes an extensive and humble discography spanning a plethora of fine labels. Most noticeably the legendary DJ Jus Ed’s Underground Quality. Since Fred has started his own imprint Soul People Music/Earth Tones. The future is bright for Fred P as he continues to record and build , taking his music and vision to the masses worldwide through touring and his weekly show on Motionfm.com. Rest assured once you have had the pleasure of meeting and listening to this humble person you will be touched by this vibration of positivity…
Here at PHONiC we are MORE than delighted to welcome both Fred P & Levon to Dublin for what is set to be one of the best nights of the year......
